He was the 3rd of  9 children with 2 older brothers, 3 younger sisters, and 3 younger brothers. Henry married Clarissa Benora HENDRICKSON 31 30 May 1917 in Decorah, Winneshiek county, Iowa.

Henry died 29 Jun 1981 in Spring Grove, Houston county, Minnesota. His obit was in the Decorah Public Opinion (Decorah, Iowa) on 1 Jul 1981. I have a memorial for him at findagrave.com. I also have a PDF of his obit and of his and Clarissa's marriage record.

I have Henry on the following censuses:

• 1895 Iowa Census, page 474, Glenwood township, Winneshiek, Iowa
• 1920 US Census, page 1A, Glenwood township, Winneshiek, Iowa
• 1925 Iowa Census (it's for Glenwood township, Winneshiek, but doesn't say that.)
• 1930 US census, page 6B, Glenwood township, Winneshiek, Iowa
• 1940 US Census, pages 6B and 7A,  Glenwood township, Winneshiek, Iowa. (The family is split up between 2 pages.)

Now lets give some brief information on Henry and Clarissa's children.
