Nothing is recorded of his childhood. We do not know what recreation he enjoyed or anything about his education. We don’t know how he met Sarah Ann Wayne though we can guess that they were neighbors. We can assume that he learned the shoemaker’s trade from his family.
From Henry’s Civil War records we find he enlisted at age 21 in the Union Army for a three year period beginning Tuesday, 15 October 1861. He was assigned to Company E, McLean’s 88th Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry. His brother, William, was already fighting in another unit.
Henry was on regular duty all of 1861 and 1862 (most [of] the locations are unspecified). During the spring of 1862 he was detached to guard R. Rood.
Muster rolls contain only the basic notation “present” for all of 1863. From May through October he appears to have been on battlefield duty. His records show participation in a total of 15-18 or more engagements, and “several absences on account of sickness.”
We believe that he was seriously wounded around 1-3 July 1863 [with] the loss of a nipple and seven bullet wounds which occurred at Gettysburg.
His enlistment term expired on 14 October 1864. He received the $100 bounty and $7.64 in back pay. He was mustered out “in the field” near Washington, D.C. the next day.
It may have been at this time that Henry lived in Lancaster. The residency is listed in his records and no other period of time seems likely.
Six months after his first release, he re-enlisted on Monday 6 March 1865 for an additional year – this time in Hancock’s Company C, 3rd U.S. Veteran’s Volunteer Infantry (First Army Corps) and was released in March at Petersburg, Virginia. The war was ended at Appomattox Court House in April.
Henry was, at that time, 26 years old, five foot seven inches tall with a light complexion and light hair and blue eyes.
Three months after his military release, Henry married Sarah Ann Wayne on Wednesday 6 June 1866 in Philadelphia…
By 1885 the family lived in Denver… while Henry worked… as a shoemaker.
In the 1891 Directory he is listed as a shoemaker… and as a janitor in 1892.
His health continued to deteriorate and, in May of 1882, Henry applied for an increase in his Civil War invalid’s pension of $8.00 a month. He cited his colitis (“piles and hemorrhoids”) as an interference to working in his trade and mentioned further illnesses in the form of kidney and heart disease…
In February of 1907 a new pension law was passed and Henry reapplied for benefits…
In July of 1910 when Henry was 70 the increase was awarded – to $15.00 a month.
Nine months later, at the City and County Hospital, on the 16th of April 1911, at the age of 71 years 9 months and 22 days, Henry died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
