Son of Joseph Lingshire & Catherine Detrich
Married Mary A. Hawkes on February 12, 1896 @ Kalispell, Montana

From SandiMH:

Henry's Lingshire's father's last name was actually Lingscheit. Henry was the oldest of Joe and Catherine's 15 children. A niece of Henry' wrote a book about Joseph (titled Big Joe), and relates a story regarding Henry changing his last name at his wife's request as she was very prudish and found Lingscheit offensive.

It made him a difficult man for me to trace until I was given the book! My husband's grandfather's grandmother was Henry's sister, Mary Lingscheit Kosse.
