General Notes: Husband - Charles Newton Henry


He was reared in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he worked on the farm and attended the common schools until he was seventeen years of age, when he went to learn the trade of tanner. At the end of a two years' apprenticeship he engaged in tanning and farming, which he followed for several years. In 1870 he came to Kittanning, where he engaged in a livery business. In politics Mr. Henry was always a democrat, and cast his first presidential ballot for James Buchanan. He acted as deputy sheriff under Sheriffs Alexander Montgomery, Sr., and John B. Boyd, and in 1886 was elected as one of the auditors of Armstrong County. He was a candidate on the democratic ticket once for sheriff, but was defeated by only seventy-two votes - in a county whose republican majority was seldom less than fifteen hundred. He held several important mail contracts in the county. He was a member of the Royal Arcanum and the Knights of Honor.
