I haven’t yet located the Henry River. Here are some reader comments:
I think that the Henry River was at Val Alain, up on the south shore between Tros Rivières and Quebec City. The river in Coaticook is just called the Coaticook. I don’t believe it ever had a different name. Susan Reed
Not sure it is near Coaticook. This picture postcard was taken by a Coaticook photographer named Lariviere. Francois Gloutnay

My Daddy used to work at the sawmill when I was a little girl. It is VERY hard work. My husband also worked in a sawmill years ago. I remember rafts of logs floating down the Willamette River. Wonderful pictures!
Evelyn,
I think you have the most amazing collection of postcards! Thank you for sharing.

What a wonderful site! I am very much enjoying the postcards. I think that the Henry River was at Val Alain, up on the south shore between Tros Rivières and Quebec City. The river in Coaticook is just called the Coaticook. I don’t believe it ever had a different name.
I seem to recognize your name from “Ancestry” as well. I think you once sent me some very valuable information.
Not sure it is near Coaticook. This picture postcard was taken by a Coaticook photographer named Lariviere.
