MELLINGER EDWARD HENRY

[Mellinger Henry worked with my grandfather Maurice Matteson on his book, Beech Mountain Folk-Songs and Ballads, and at least one article, "Songs from North Carolina" published in Southern Folklore Quarterly in 1941. They met at a summer camp held in Banner Elk, NC in 1932.

The bulk of this infomation below comes from an article on Mellinger Henry by Steve Green.]

BIBLIOGRAPHY[1]

 Mellinger Edward Henry (1873-1946) graduated from Brown University in the Class of 1899.  He entered the teaching field, becoming a professor of English at Dickinson High School in Jersey City, New Jersey.  Mr. Henry was an avid hiker and belonged to numerous mountain clubs up and down the Appalachian chain.  He married Florence Stokes (August 3, 1921) whose family had ties to Georgia.  Together, the Henrys made numerous sojourns in the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountain region of Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina.  In 1923, on one of their trips, they heard Dr. C. Alphonso Smith, deliver a lecture on American ballads and folksongs, and almost immediately began their collecting of songs from the people they encountered in the mountain back country.[1] Once they had established the nucleus of a collection, Mellinger Henry began corresponding with other folksong scholars who were doing or endorsing similar work in various parts of the U.S.  Among those individuals offering initial encouragement were Harvard professor, George Lyman Kittredge, and Robert Winslow Gordon, founder of the Archive of American Folksong at the Library of Congress.  During the next fifteen years, the Henrys devoted much time to securing ballads and songs, traveling south from New Jersey during Mr. Henry's summer vacations.  Mrs. Henry was trained musically and was able to take down tunes for many of the pieces, while Mellinger Henry concerned himself with researching variants and sources of the song texts.  His correspondence with other scholars grew and he published numerous articles in the Journal of American Folklore, the New Jersey Journal of Education, and other journals.  In 1934, his first book, Songs Sung in the Southern Appalachians, was published in London by the Mitre Press.  Beech Mountain Folk Songs and Ballads, a collaborative effort with Maurice Matteson, was published in 1936 by G. Schirmer.  This was followed in 1937 by Henry's Bibliography for the Study of American Folk-Songs, also published by Mitre Press.  In 1939, Folk Songs of the Southern Highlands was published in New York by J. J. Augustin.

Mellinger Henry was interested—as were other ballad scholars of the time—in the literary heritage of folksong poetry and the effects of oral transmission, but Mr. Henry's interest went beyond that of mere "arm chair" study, as he admired and felt an affinity with the people whom he perceived as living "the outdoor life" of which he was so fond.  He encouraged—through editorials, articles and lectures—the opening up of the Blue Ridge Mountain region for vacationers and especially the creation of trail networks for hikers and climbers.  The National Park Service was beginning to take an interest in the region, and several of Mr. Henry's singer-informants found themselves forced to sell their land and relocate as a result of the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in the 1920s.

Over the years, Mellinger Henry made a point of sending reprints of his published journal articles to various colleagues and mentors, including Harry Lyman Koopman and S. Foster Damon, both connected with the Brown University Library.  It was presumably due in part to their encouragement—and Mellinger Henry's fond memories of his alma mater—that Mrs. Henry decided, after her husband's death in 1946, to donate his papers to the John Hay Library.

Today, there is a quiet but steady flow of reissued vintage folklore field recordings, and considerable attention is being focused on the southern American scene during the first half of this century. Mellinger Henry's papers throw light not only on his own work but on the entire field of folksong studies during the 1920s and 1930s, a time when scholars were publishing seminal collections and debating the so-called "communal" theories of the origins of folksong.  The papers also offer some insight into the opening of the southern mountains to tourism, and offer possibilities for investigating the interaction between local and "outside elements."  Above all, there is the chance to find out more about the traditions and the region that Mellinger Henry loved and worked so hard to document and share with others.

Obituary in JOAFL
Mellinger Edward Henry (1873-1946)

The Journal of American Folklore, Vol. 59, No. 233 (Jul. - Sep., 1946), pp. 315-316

Mellinger Edward Henry (1873-1946)

Mellinger Edward Henry, born at Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, died at
Englewood, New Jersey, January 31, I946. He was educated at Brown,
Harvard, and Columbia. Practically all of his professional career was included
in the teaching of English in high schools at Paterson, New Jersey (90o6-
I9II), and Jersey City (Dickinson High School, 191-1937). The pursuit of the
folksong, however, was his avocation. In 1926, summering with his wife
(Florence Newton Stokes) in the southern mountain region, he developed an
interest in folksongs which endeared him to the mountain folk, as one "nice
and common," and resulted in the addition of a thousand ballads and songs
to the corpus of published American folksongs. The introductions and notes
to Mr. Henry's published collections testify rather to his human than his
scholarly interest in folklore. His services to specialized scholarship were
largely rendered through his useful Bibliography of American Folk-Songs
(I937).
Mr. Henry's portly, genial figure, his twinkling eyes, and his liking for
acquaintance and friendship made him a conspicuous and long-remembered
figure at many of the summer folk festivals and the annual meetings of various
folklore societies. In his home on Edgewater Avenue, Ridgefield, New
Jersey, he accumulated a library of io,ooo volumes, including American and
first editions of Thomas Carlyle, George Eliot, John Masefield, William De
Morgan, Joseph Conrad, H. G. Wells, and others. He also collected Beadle's
Half Dime Novels and left in manuscript a small book about them. His
interest in mountain songs was paralleled by his interest in mountains. During
the last thirty years of his life he "hiked over mountain tops from Oglethorpe,
Georgia, to Canada." Shortly before his death he noted that he was
"now trying to hike to Mt. Katahdin, Maine," which he climbed in 1916.
Accounts of the manner of his death suggest that he climbed the last peak as
manfully and as confidently as he did Mt. Katahdin. His love for the South,
first realized and long sustained by his love for the songs of its people, found
fitting consummation in his burial in West View Cemetery, Atlanta, Georgia.

the following books and articles:
Songs Sung in the Southern Appalachians (London: The Mitre Press, I934).
