L. L. HENRY, a prominent and successful attorney of Globe, where he has practiced his profession since 1904 was born in Lee County Iowa, in 1868. He is a son of Robert C. and Jane F. HENRY, the former a native of Ohio and the latter of Providence, Rhode Island. The father removed to Iowa in 1843, the mother having reached that state two years previous. Their marriage occurred in 1866 and some time afterward the father determined to study law, graduating in this profession from the Iowa State university in 1869. For eight years he practiced in Mount Ayr, Iowa and was for a similar period District Judge, discharging the duties efficiently. Later he was Prosecuting Attorney for a number of terms. He then came to Arizona and in 1909 to Globe, where he joined his son in the practice of law, continuing until his death in 1910. His wife died in Iowa in November 1904. They were the parents of six children, three of whom are still living: L. L. of this sketch, Iowa I., the wife of D O. JENNINGS, of Wiwoka, Oklahoma and Jennie J. now Mrs. V. S. FARIS, of El Reno, Oklahoma.

L. L. HENRY acquired his preliminary education in the public schools of Ringgold County, Iowa, pursuing the usual course of studies. Following in his father's footsteps, he studied law, entering the State University at Iowa City and graduating with the degree of LL.B. in 1890. He began his professional career in the following year in San Juan County, New Mexico where he practiced until 1895 when he removed to Gallup, New Mexico, securing a profitable patronage in that city. In 1904 he came to Globe, where he has since remained, his law practice covering litigation in all the courts of the state.

Mr. HENRY was married in 1899 to Miss Viola BOLTON, who was born in St. Louis, Missouri, her father having extensive business interests in that city and in Pike County. He later removed to Trinidad, Colorado and then to New Mexico, where his death occurred. The mother died in San Bernardino, California. Mr. and Mrs. HENRY have two children: Robert L., born July 7, 1900 and Jennie Lorena, born February 3, 1903.
