Henry was born in Germany in 1842, and emigrated to America in 1858. He settled in Ozaukee County, where he worked with his brother on a farm in Saukville for two years.

After the West Bend farm, he returned to Saukville where he learned his trade, and two years later, he moved to Cedarburg for about eighteen months.
