The following was taken from Danvers, Massachusetts, A Resume of Her Past History and Progress Together with a Condensed Summary of the Insutrial Advantages and Development. Biographies of Prominent Danvers Men and a Series of Comprehensive sketches of Her Representative Manufacturing and Commercial Enterprises; Published in the Interest of the Town by the Danvers Mirror, 1899. Can be found online at http://www.archive.org

Beginning on page 97 is an article about the firm Bernard, Friedman, & Co., manufactureres of fancy leathers with a large plant in Danvers, Massachusetts. Henry Creese worked there and is featured in this article with a photograph of him and his home, as well. On page 99 of this source it begins about Henry Creese:

"The factory is under the direct supervision of the other members of the firm, Mr. Henry Creese, who is a tanner by trade, and, one might say, by birth and inheritance also. Mr. Creese learned the tanning business in England, going to work at it when a small boy. His father, grandfather, and great grandfather were expert tanners before him. After serving his apprenticeship he remained with his employer 17 years. He came to the United States in 1872 and went to work for White Bros. & Co. of Lowell, remaining there 18 years, and the last ten years being superintendent of the works. Ten years ago he entered the firm of which he is still a member, and the business has grown and prospered under his personal management from the small beginning to the present status. Mr. Creese is assisted in the management of the factory by his son, Mr. Walter T. Creese, and his son-in-law, Mr. Henry W. Cook, both wide awake, enterprising and up-to-date business men. All three gentlemen reside in Danvers and are counted among the town's progressive, public spirited citiizens.

The Danvers Archival Center is the recent recipient of a 20th century painting of a Danversite important to the recent history of the town.A framed, oil-on-canvas painting of* Walter T. Creese, painted by famed portrait artist and muralist Richard V. Ellery, was donated to the Town Archival Center by Mr. Robert Lash. Walter T. Creese was born in England in 1869 and in 1901 co-founded with Henry W. Cook the Creese & Cook Leather Company, which existed until 1982 on Water St. Mr. Creese served as treasurer of the company, retiring in 1954. His life in Danvers was marked with numerous civil and governmental service, including activities with various Masonic Lodges, includingMaster of Amity Lodge, and serving as a Trustee of the Hunt Memorial Hospital from 1928-1951. Mr. Creese was elected to the Danvers Board of Selectmen and served as an elected Town Meeting member beginning in 1932. He also served on the Electric Light Commission.

The Ellery painting, portraying a grandfatherly Walter Creese sitting in a chair and holding a pipe, was donated by Mr. Creese's grandson, Robert Lash. Mr. Lash had contacted state representative Gale D. Candaras of Wilbraham, asking for assistance in finding an appropriate home for the portrait. Rep. Candaras's office contacted Danvers State Rep. Ted Speliotis, who informed them of the Danvers Archival Center, a town department which collects and preserves all manner of documentary materials relating to the history of Danvers. Arrangements were made for the gift transfer, which was made through Rep. Candaras's Legislative Director Laurie K. Byrne. The portrait is presently on display in the Danvers Archival Center's public reading room at the Peabody Institute Library, 15 Sylvan St.
