According to Rex Lawson's long article in "The Pianola Journal"
No 11 (1998), "Towards a History of the Aeolian Company", Harry Barnes
Tremaine [born 1866] was elected President of the Aeolian Organ and
Music Company in 1892 and of its successor, the Aeolian, Weber Piano
and Pianola Company in August 1903, when he was 37.  He was still
President in 1915, where Rex leaves the story.

H B Tremaine lived in Stoneleigh Park, Westfield NJ (which he wanted
renamed Aeolian) and had a country estate in Camden, South Carolina.
His father, William Burton Tremaine [born 1840], was on the 1903 board,
and had a brother Charles M Tremaine with which he jointly ran a piano
company named Tremaine Brothers, whose son Charles Milton Tremaine,
H B's cousin, was also on the Aeolian board (and later founded National
Music Week).

Rex records that H B Tremaine took spa treatment at Nauheim in Germany
in 1908 and died of a heart attack in May 1932.  He says:

  "He was a quiet, affluent, family man whom all the local children
  called respectfully "Uncle", an expert tennis player, a cultured man
  with an interest in art and music.  He married Maude Cooke and had
  three children, Henry, Dorothy and Ruth.  His grave (in Greenwood
  Cemetery, Brooklyn) is next to his wife's parents, but his wife is
  not there.  And for some reason his two daughters are buried with
  their uncle in Westfield, and not with either their husbands or
  their father.  Why ?"
