HENRY was christened in "Old Sixteen Church" at McZena, Ohio, where he became a blacksmith and established his shop there. He shod horses, "ironed" buggies & wagons and made iron work for bridges. He had the stature one would think a blacksmith must have, being a tall, broad-shouldered man. He wore a large-sized mustache which turned white as the years advanced. He had a constant flush on his cheeks which gave him a look of health and well-being, but it could have been caused by the alcohol he had imbibed when he was apt to stop too often at the tavern before he went home to his household, which was predominantly feminine. His sweet wife, Mary Elizabeth, had given him six daughters before she gave him a son. In all, the family ultimately consisted of eight daughters and two sons.

He was a hard working man himself and he liked for others also to have their work done well and on time. When he returned home from work, he would ask each child if their work was done. Then he would inspect the result. If it was not finished and well done, it was too bad for the culprit.

Usually his disposition was pleasant, but on the nights he imbibed too much, he was irritable and quarrelsome. On such occasions Mary Elizabeth would never talk back to him. She was gentle and uncomplaining.

Henry had the quaint way of relating conversations he had carried on with persons he had met. He would always surround his quotations with "I says, says I."
