Henry M. Joy (1836-1886) was born in Middlebury, Ohio, and died in Greencastle, Indiana. He was a Methodist minister, preaching in Ionia, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Niles, Coldwater, and Kalamazoo, Michigan. In 1865, he married Jennie M. O'Hea, who wrote to Mary Baker Eddy in early 1886 to ask for information on studying at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College. There is no record of either of the Joys studying with Mary Baker Eddy.
