Henry Edwin Utter, second son of Hon. George H. and Elizabeth L. (Brown) Utter, was born at Westerly, R. I., April 9, 1883. As a child he attended the public schools of that place and afterwards was sent by his parents to Riverview Academy, at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Here he took the regular classical preparatory course, and was graduated in 1902. He then matriculated at Amherst College, where he proved himself a most industrious and apt student, and was graduated with the class in 1906, taking the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Dr. Utter had decided to make the profession of medicine his career, and with this end in view, entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons, in connection with Columbia University, of New York. He was graduated therefrom with the class of 1910, and received his degree of Doctor of Medicine. He then became an intern at the Boston Floating Hospital, and after occupying that post for the summer of 1910 took a similar one with the Rhode Island Hospital, at Providence, where he remained through the year 1912. He then returned to New York City, where he became associated with the Babies' Hospital, remaining until 1914, when he began his private practice in Providence. During his association with the last named hospital, Dr. Utter had become keenly interested in pediatrics, or the diseases of children, and since that time has specialized in this branch of his profession. He has established a reputation, and enjoys a very large and successful practice, and is regarded as an authority on pediatrics. In addition to his private practice Dr. Utter at the present time holds the position of physician-in-charge of the Providence City Hospital, pediatric department; attending physician of the pediatric department of the Memorial Hospital at Pawtucket; assistant attending physician of the pediatric department, Rhode Island Hospital; consulting physician of the Providence Lying-In Hospital, and medical director of the North Providence schools.
Dr. Henry Edwin Utter was united in marriage, June 23, 1915, with Josephine Siggins, a daughter of Orion and Alice (Hall) Siggins. The death of Mrs. Utter occurred May 18, 1918.
