Henry Josiah DeForest (0 words) |
 | There is some confusion about H. DeForest's early life: his birthdate is given as either 1855 or 1860 and his birthplace is either St. John, New Brunswick or Rothesay, a town ten miles upriver from St. John. |
| The evolution of his name from DeForest to De Forest to de Forest may be ascribed either to his own hand or the whim of printers and typographers. |
| His sense of humour is apparent in his painting of Mount Hermon's lodgehall, currently hanging in the Library at Grand Lodge, where he included a goat to the right of the lodge hall. |
