Son of Charles Washington Train and Amelia, husband of Hattie Howell, whom he married on April 23, 1884, in Patchogue, New York, and father of Amelia (died young) and Eleanor Howell Train.

In 1910, Henry W. Train, aged 50, a bayman on the Great South Bay, was living on Furman Lane, Patchogue, Brookhaven, New York, with his wife, Hattie Train, aged 47, to whom he had been married for 25 years, daughter, Eleanor H. Train, aged 18, and widowed sister-in-law, Eleanor Dayton, aged 64.

Obituary - Late last night firemen were still pouring water on the waterfront fire at Canton that virtually wrecked the plant of the Canton Lumber Company, resulting in the death of Henry W. Train, of New York, cook on a yacht, and the destruction of nearly a dozen vessels tied up at the wharves of the Spedden Shipbuilding Company close by, as told in a late edition of The Sun yesterday. It is estimated that the lost will total about $750,000. The loss of the Canton Lumber Company is estimated by officials to be about $250,000. It is fully covered in insurance. Only a small part of the machine shop was destroyed. It is planned to rebuild the pier and storage house immediately. Owing to the fact that the company has two other timber yards, the entire supply of lumber was not destroyed and the plant will probably be running at nearly full capacity in about a week...
Train, who was a cook on the L'Enfant, was burned to death. As Train failed to respond to raps on the door of his stateroom by the other members of the crew when they were leaving the ship, it was thought that he already had gained the dock. However, his body was found in the hull. Although no more than 150 feet from the place where the fire began, the officers and crew of the L'Enfant and the steamer McLane were forced to jump into the water to escape the flames. Capt. Amos W. Creighton, of the McLane, and eight of his crew were sent to St. Joseph's Hospital when hauled out suffering from exposure. They lost all of their personal property...

Also - Yaphank - Henry W. Train, aged 65 years, who spent his boyhood days here years ago, the son of the late C.W. Train, lost his life in a fire at Canton, a suburb of Baltimore last Wednesday, where his ship, a government steamer, was destroyed at the dock of the Canton Lumber Co., he being a steward on the vessel. Mr. Train, it is supposed, was suffocated by smoke and unable to escape. His funeral will be observed at Patchogue, where he formerly resided some years ago. He is survived by his wife and daughter, Eleanor Train, a school teacher, who now resides at Mamaroneck.

Estate - Henry Train, late of Patchogue, value $500; letters to Hattie Train, widow, of Mamaroneck.
