HENRY

Thomas P. Henry was born in Van Buren County, Iowa, July 21, 1841, and departed this life at his home in Bonaparte, Iowa, January 23, 1900, having attained the age of 58 years, 6 months and 2 days. He has been in poor health for the past several years, being sorely afflicted with rheumatism, but has been able most of the time to be about among his many friends. During the past ten days his life was sustained by a delicate thread and he suffered intensely, with a constant desire to be at rest.

In April, 1861, Mr. Henry enlisted in Company F, Second Iowa infantry, at Keosauqua, and served his country gallantly until the close of the dread [sic] Civil War, being discharged July 21, 1865. He was married February 16, 1870 to Jennie Bennett [rest of obit missing]
