________________________Transcriber's note: Transcribed as published. Per the 1895 Iowa State Census, the deceased was born in Madison County, Iowa and censuses consistently support his Iowa birth. The family bible shows that his parents moved to Iowa in November 1856 and land records show a purchase of land in Webster Township. However, Henry and his parents are back in Ohio in the 1860 and 1870 censuses and returned to Webster Township in 1875.
