Plenry served in one of the campaigns under Napoleon Bonaparte. Plenry and Wilhelmina and their two daughters, Alvena and Amelia, bade adieu to home and friends on the 1st of December, 1859, and sailed from Bremen to America, but contracting a heavy cold Plery died on the third day of the voyage, and his remains, enshrouded in a canvas, were lowered into the depths of the sea. The widow, Wilhelmina, and her two daughters, Alvena and Amelia, together with their families all landed safely in New York, after a long and tedious voyage of fifty-five days. All went to Newark, where they resided for a short time and then took up their residence in the district which is now called Roseville. The second daughter.
