Henry Franklin Eddy was born on 10 January 1898 in Melbourne, Victoria, probably the son of Sidney Jonathan Eddy and Agnes Eleanor Eddy. He had a brother, Charles S. Eddy (d. 1917). He appears to have worked at “Terciverina”, Cathundral, which was on the Mitchell Highway and railway between Nevertire and Trangie, about 15km southeast of Trangie (New South Wales). In World War II Eddy was in the Australian Army as a private. He appears not to have married. Eddy died in 1969 in Sydney, New South Wales.

Eddy is known for only one artwork, a competent pen-and-ink on paper sketch of The Old Shack , undated.
