USMA Class of 1844. Cullum No. 1224.
Lexington Weekly Intelligencer, July 16, 1881
Lexington, Mo.
THE TOMB
Died--In Washington City, on the night of July 4th, after a lingering illness, Capt. James Lake Henry, a native of Lexington, Ky., and late of the U.S. army, aged 62 years. His funeral took place on Wednesday, the 6th inst., at 5 o'clock, p.m., from his late residence, No. 2040 F street northwest.
The subject of the above notice was a brother of our fellow-countryman, Dr.F.G. Henry, of Dover. Graduating at West Point with distinguished honor, mastering six languages in early manhood, he remained in the army until the close of the Mexican war. Stationed first at Columbus, N.Y., removed thence to Bangor, Me., and thence to Detroit, Mich., where he received the appointment of Aid to Brigadier-General Thomas Marshall, of Kentucky, with whom he served his country well, as a few of his old companions, now living in this county, will testify. They will learn of his death with sorrow. He married a daughter of Gen. Phil. Kearney who, with three children, still survive him. His deep devotion to his mother was a remarkable trait, which, together with his undaunted bearing on the battle-field, outlive the gallant old soldier now.
