Henry Failing (January 17, 1834 – November 8, 1898) was a banker, and one of the leading businessmen of the Pacific Northwest of the United States. He was one of Portland, Oregon's earliest residents, and served as that city's mayor for three two-year terms. He was a Republican. == Early life == Henry Failing was born in New York City on January 17, 1834, to Josiah Failing and Henrietta (Ellison) Failing, one of eleven children.〔Lockley, Fred. "(History of the Columbia River Valley, From The Dalles to the Sea )." Vol. 2. Chicago, S. J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1928. p. 18.〕 His ancestors were considered, by one biographer, "substantial citizens of the east."〔 He was educated in New York's public schools until the age of 12. He began his business career in a French importing and shipping house, where he learned the French language and business accounting.〔 He then became the junior bookkeeper for Eno, Mahoney & Co., one of the largest wholesale dry goods houses in the city, a few years later. He was also in charge of their foreign business.〔 In April 1851 he accompanied his father and younger brother John in a move to Portland.〔〔 Mr. Eno, Failing's former boss, would later describe the loss of Henry Failing as a business contact as a mistake.〔
