The house of Henry Killam & Co. was founded by Henry Killam, together with
J. M. Wiswell in 1848, under the firm name of Wiswell & Killiam. Its history
prior to 1861 is contemporaneous with that of Cruttenden & Co. At that time
Mr. Killam withdrew from the old house and for six months was out of
business; he then formed a copartnership with Leonard Pardee which
partnership was dissolved by the death of his partner; a new partnership was
formed with Francis Potter under the firm name of Henry Killam & Co. After a
few years the company incorporated under the name of Henry Killam Co. The
company met with reverses but is in a fair way of resuming in a short time.
Mr. Killam was the second president of the C. B. N. A. ; he died Sept. 20,
1896.
