Dear Cousin Henry,
2nd posting - more info.
I have newspaper clippings about the Henry Danis for whom the street was named.AMong other things, he was Portsmouth's Citizen of hte year in 1971, elected to the Portsmouth Board of Canvassers, and Executive Director of the Portsmouth Housing Authority.
My Henry George Danis was also an alderman in Fall River, also around the turn of the century.(He died in 1921) He was a prominent businessman.Founded Wholsale Produce.Do you think it unusual that brothers may have been elected to the same authority in a small city?
