Henry was the fourth child of Charles and Lena Beuttel. He was baptized “Heinrich Ernst Beuttel" on 10 Sep 1906 at the St. Marcus Mission Evangelical Lutheran Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1907 Charles moved the family to Atlantic City, New Jersey in search of work as a baker.
Henry had a happy and active childhood. He related that he learned to swim when his brothers threw him out of a rowboat into the bay…
Henry was a Chauffeur in 1924, and in 1928 he became a baker at the Mayflower Pastry shop in Atlantic City, which was Charles’ bakery. His brothers Albert and Harold also worked as bakers at the pastry shop. During the depression between 1931 and 1938, the Mayflower was sold or went under. In 1938 Charles was working as a counterman at his son-in-law Angelo’s delicatessen and Henry was clerk at Olinto Paoli’s Fruits in Ventnor.
In August 1933 Henry married Ruth Ann Cordery an elementary school teacher at the Chelsea Baptist Church in Atlantic City. After marriage they settled in Pleasantville, New Jersey. Their first son, Henry E. Beuttel Jr. was born in January 1936. Between 1938 and 1945 the family moved into a house at 909 Broad Street in Pleasantville.
During World War II, Henry worked as an electrician’s helper at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. He told of getting up before dawn and carpooling from Pleasantville to Philadelphia. Their second son, Stephen Charles was born in July 1945.
After the war, Henry returned to baking. He was a cake baker as Sayre’s Bakery in Atlantic City until about 1960 when it closed. He then worked at Ginsberg’s Bakery also in Atlantic City. After a stroke in 1966, Henry retired.
He continued to live at 909 Broad Street until just before he died at the Duke University Hospital on 4 Oct 1974, aged 68 years.
Reminiscences from his grandson Stephen:
I recall that he loved Pall Malls, Schmitz beer, cooking pancakes, watching Phillies baseball, and that he was a quiet man. I was told he was upset by racial injustice in Pleasantville, and that he was a burly, strong man. I also remember he loved crossword puzzles, and was in the habit of doing them in ink, a practice Henry Jr, and Henry Jr's son Stephen (me), inherited. He loved reading, especially historic novels like the Bruce Catton series on the civil war. He loved Ruth and his sons, and was generally amused by the antics of his grandchildren.
