Born in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania on 6 December 1835, J. Henry Everett was the son of Joseph and Clara (Hargell) Everett.
A contractor by trade, he enlisted as a Private on 18 September 1864 with Company A of the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteers, and mustered out, officially, on 25 December 1865. Of further interest, however, is the notation about John Everett in Bates' "History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-5," that he was on approved furlough and absent from service at the time that the 47th Pennsylvania was permanently mustered out (at the close of the war) from Charleston, South Carolina on 25 December 1865. It was possible that he had been injured and sent home or, more likely, was recuperating from injury or illness at a Union hospital during the muster out. Two facts seem to contradict Bates' notation. The 1890 U.S. Veterans Schedule notes J. Henry Everett's date of muster out was 25 December 1865; in addition, Henry and his widow both applied for Henry's Civil War Pension, the collection of which would very likely have been prevented had Henry been absent without leave.
In addition to confirming his service with the 47th Pennsylvania, his U.S. Civil War Pension Index card made note of his other Civil War service as "B. 1." the 1890 U.S. Veterans' Schedule makes clear that he was also a "three month man" - one of those who responded early to President Lincoln's call for soldiers to help quell the South's burgeoning rebellion. He enlisted with Company B of the 1st Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers on 20 April 1861 and mustered out and honorably completed his three months' service - most likely sometime in July.
After war's end, J. Henry Everett returned to Easton where, in 1866, he married Eliza Ziegenfuss. A Pennsylvania native, Eliza was the daughter of Pennsylvanians George and Anna M. (Getter) Ziegenfuss.
J. Henry and Eliza are shown on the U.S. Census as married and living together (with no children) in 1870. The 1890 Veterans' Schedule confirms that he was still living there at that time. The 1900 federal census shows the pair still there - now in their 60s and still without children - two tiny marks next to Eliza's name indicating that she had only ever given birth to one child and that he or she had not survived.
J. Henry Everett died from complications from several ailments, including a weak heart, on the property of his home (see death certificate for details). The informant was his wife, Eliza Everett. He was interred at the Easton Cemetery in the same town where he was born. Taylor & Company handled his funeral arrangements.
Alternate Vital Statistics: His Pennsylvania Veteran's Burial Card indicates that he was born 6 December 1836 and died 31 July 1907. His Pennsylvania Death Certificate indicates that he was born 6 December 1835 and died 30 July 1907.
