General Notes: Husband - Robert D. Henry


He attended the subscription schools of the neighborhood. He was one of the closest students of his time, and later took an active interest in educational matters, continually advocating better school privileges and a more thorough system.
He always lived on the old home place, which was patented to Thomas Kerr. From earliest youth he was a member of the U. P. Church at Pigeon Creek, of which he served as trustee several years. In his political preferences he was a stanch Republican, and was, prior to the organization of his party, an Old-line Whig. He held many offices of trust in his township, and for years served as justice of the peace; he also served one term as jury commissioner of the county, from 1876 to 1879.
