and "The Spirit of '76"

Henry Kelsey Devereux was born into an
aristocratic family on October 10, 1860 in Cleveland,
Ohio. Ohio artist, Archibald Willard, chose Harry,
as he was fondly known, to portray the drummer
boy in one of America's most famous patriotic
paintings, "The Spirit of '76." At the time
Willard approached him to pose, young Harry
was a cadet at Brooks Military Academy. He married
socialite Mildred French in 1885 and in 1910 they settled in
her father's pretentious country estate in Wickliffe, Ohio
(presently Telshe Yeshiva College). His passion for harness
racing and for breeding horses culminated in the organization
of the American Association of Trotting Horse Breeders
and his position as president of the Grand Circuit. The
affluent and charitable Wickliffe resident died in 1932 at
the age of 72.
