Were Edward A. DENNY an older man he would be known as the "Dean" of the staff of the Stae Mutual Life Assurance Company, of Worcester, Mass., in which in 1932 he rounded out an association with this remarkable corporation of full 4 decades. He eteed the employ of the company as a young man, and in point of continuous service is outranked by very few in the company. Mr. DENNY was born at Worcester, Mass., Dec. 16, 1872, son of Daniel E. and Martha A. (FISHER) DENNY. His father was a native of Worcester, a prominent citizen and leader in politics, who filled many important offices, the gift of the citizens. He died in 1924; Mrs. DENNY was born at Northbrook, Mass., and lived until 1923. Edward A. DENNY attended the public schools, but while in his teens started to make a livelihood for himself, and at the age of 20 secured a job with the State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester. This was in 1892, and his connection with the corporation has been unbroken during the last 40 years. He has served in various capacities and held many offices. Few men know the scope of the corporation's work better. In 1932 he was justly rewarded by elevation to the post of Comptroller of the Mutual Life, a position he now holds. His department is one of the most important in the business, and to be chosen the head of it throws a great deal of light upon the esteem and respect in which he is held. Mr. DENNY has always taken a great deal of interest in his native city and the advancement of its affairs. Fraternally he is affiliated with Morning Star Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of which he has been the treasurer for 20 years. He is a member of all the bodies of Masonry, up to and including the 32nd Degree, Scottish Rite, and is a member of Aleppo Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. At one time prominent in the social and club life of the city, Mr. DENNY has resigned in recent years from all such organizations except the Chamber of Commerce, the Mechanics Association and the Historical Society, all of Worcester. He is a member of the Congregational Church. In the first year of the present century, Mr. DENNY married Bertha J. GRISWOLD, a native of Connecticut. Mr. and Mrs. DENNY make their home at No. 4 Chamberlain Park, Worcester. Volume 3, Pages 17 and 18 Worcester County, a narrative history By: John Nelson, published 1934
