Notes - Occupation - Farmer Buried - Chadwick Cemetery, Chadwick, Illinois.
- In 1916 Henry built a feed mill, on land purchased from W. N. Casselberry. He had a thriving business, in grinding feed. The mill was sold to Will Ford, Oscar Weidman, Albert Toepfer, Joe Doty and Erve Ritenour, who later closed the mill and tore it down. Excerpt from the Chadwick Sentinel, of Sept. 1894, speaking of Henry - "The groom is so well and favorably known in Chadwick and vicinity that any comment from the press is unnecessary, standing as he does, in good society. He is one of our successful young farmers, and claims a hand of friendship from all who know him.?
