Born in Lehighton, Pennsylvania sometime around 1834 (according to a ledger from the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers) or sometime around 1833 (according to his Philadelphia, Pennsylvania death certificate), Henry D. Spinner was the son of Abraham Spinner.
Enlisted in Company I, 47th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers (infantry) on 30 August 1861. Mustered out on 27 July 1863 from the Union General Hospital at Hilton Head, South Carolina. Rank: Private. Reason for Discharge via Surgeon's Certificate: Disability.
According to a ledger from the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in Hampton, Virginia where Henry was admitted in 1908, his disability was related to an old injury to his right knee and chronic articulator. He was 74 years old at this time, a Protestant, and 5'9" tall with brown eyes, a light complexion, and gray hair.
This ledger also documents Henry's occupation as an iron moulder, that he was a widower, and that he would subsequently be discharged to Philadelphia where his daughter, Mrs. Lena L. Mackey was residing at 428 North 62nd Street.
Church records also confirm Henry's Philadelphia ties, documenting that he attended a Methodist church with his daughter, Lena, in Philadelphia during the late 1880s.
Prior to moving to Philadelphia, Henry had been instrumental in the founding of a new Free Methodist congregation in Allentown. According to "History of Lehigh County," a publication produced by that county's historical society, "A congregation was organized at Allentown on August 10, 1867, by Rev. William Parry, and the first members were Charles Hartman, Henry D. Spinner, Anna Johening and Eliza Schantz.... The first meetings were held at the home of Mr. Hartman, and afterward in a chapel at Eighth and Chew streets."
Both his Philadelphia death certificate and an application made for his headstone (see notes) document his interment at Northwood Cemetery.
