When his oldest brother my Great Grandfather Fred got land to homestead near where Hanover, Washington County, Kansas would be, Henry got land to homestead in 1865 that was 1 mile east of Fred's land. Henry married Wilhelmina Hollenberg. Wilhelmina was the niece of G. H. Hollenberg. He and his wife farmed that land and had two daughters Mary and Louisa. He was a Pioneer and assisted many poor families in the struggles of frontier life, which was the means of their having good comfortable homes.
