VIII. Henry Whitney Hyatt, b. in Norwalk, Conn., 21 Jan. 1832; a printer; died unmarried, at his father's house in Norwalk, of consumption, 9 March 1860; and was buried in Norwalk Cemetery. In November 1850, when less than nineteen years old, he became a partner with Hon. A. H. Byington, in the Norwalk Gazette and during Mr. Byington's absence in Washington, nearly a year, "took entire charge of the office; conducting the paper, not only with credit to himself, but with an acceptance to the public, that evinced itself in a large increase of business." Early in 1853, he bought the Litchfield Enquirer, of Payne Kenyon Kilbourne; and, as another editor said: "Never, probably, was there a more marked illustration of the advantages an energetic, self-educated, and practical printer possesses, in the successful conduct of a newspaper, over the mere scholar and book-worm." A long obituary notice in the Norwalk Gazette terminates with the following estimate of his character: "In every relation of life, as an apprentice boy, as our associate, as the man of business, his marked characteristics have ever been the same--faithful, earnest, and careful; with an amiability of heart which endeared him to all; unostentatious and retiring, often too distrustful of his own abilities; ever more solicitous for the welfare and comfort of others than of himself; and withal, so capable of usefulness, it seems, to our finite wisdom, a mysterious Providence which has taken from us one so richly endowed with so many of those qualities which adorn and bless mankind."'
