Mr. Henry Trevor died suddenly. Mr. Trevor was born in Southhampton, Long Island, New York, and was 62 years old when he died.
He studied at St. Paul's School, New Hampshire, and at Harvard University. He came to our country to settle here in 1950 with his distinguished wife, Mrs. Mary Dixon Trevor, today his widow.
Mr. Trevor devoted himself to the study of old Mexican stamps and became one of the most eminent philatelists in this field, especially in regard to cancellation marks: those that antedate the use of postage stamps and those used on the first stamps issued in our country.
Here as well as abroad, he was considered an authority because of his great competence, and his opinions were always taken into account because of his profound knowledge, his rectitude and his integrity.
For several years, he carried out investigations in relation to the falsifying of stamps, because he was always of the opinion that to eliminate the illegal traffic in them was the only way to restore the prestige of Mexican phllately. Thanks to him, it acquired large proportions in all countries of the world but especially in the United States of North America. He belonged to the Mexican Philatelic Association, the Elmhurst Philatelic Society, and the American Topical Association, and together with Mr. John Bash of New York was considered the greatest expert on matters pertaining to the antique stamps of Mexico.
Although he was born in the United States, the love which he bore the country of his adoption, probably stimulated by his interest in the stamps of Mexico, made him feel like a Mexican, and consequently, he was a defender of everything connected with his adopted country.
He was known in all social circles. Everyone with whom he had dealings felt for him an unusual esteem because in all aspects of his life he was gentlemanly, obliging, prompt and generous with his help to anybody who requested it.
As a proof of this affection which he knew how to arouse in his fellowmen, people of every social circle gathered together at his funeral to say good-bye to the great friend, to the expert philatelist, and to the gentleman.
Mexican philatelists were present to manifest their esteem and their grief, commenting one to another that abroad, especially in Chicago and New York, the same painful impression of having lost someone irreplaceable would be produced when his death became known.
