Baum, Henry, one of the leading merchants of Morris, and a man whose public 
spirit has made him an important factor in bringing to the city some of its 
leading industries, was born in New Jersey, April 4, 1855, a son of George 
Baum. His educational advantages were supplied by the schools of Morris, and 
Bryant & Stratton's Business College of Chicago. His business career had its 
beginning when he became a clerk for L. F. Beach & Co. of Morris, but within 
two years, in 1874, he, in partnership with Mr. Schobert, established a 
similar store under the name of Baum & Schobert. In 1881 the partners 
separated, each continuing to do business alone. Mr. Baum belongs to the 
Masonic order, and is an important factor in Blaney Commandery.
