Born Arvid Henry Enberg, he was known as "Henry". He was raised and attended school in rural Aitkin Co. Maria Chapel was where the family attended church.
Henry married Hedvig Viola Olander on February 14, 1914, in Aitkin Co., Minnesota.
Four months later a tragedy occured: while he was working in the Tucker-McGregor store there was an explosion of a hot glue pot, and Henry received extreme burns which caused his death the next day. There was nothing that could be done to save his life from the injuries.
His funeral was held in the Aitkin Congregational church, with a great number in attendance.
His obituary stated:
"He was a young man of splendid character, highly respected by his friends and employers, and the sudden blotting out of his life has caused a feeling of sorrow in the community. During his life he had three narrow escapes from death. While a baby the entire back of his head was scalded by a pot of hot coffee; at the age of two he was lost in the woods a day and a night and when found told his father he had slept with a big black cow which afterward proved to be a bear; two years ago he was rescued from drowning by a boy, Hans Hendrickson, as he went under water the third time."
His death left to mourn his young wife, Hedvig, the relatives of both the Enberg and Olander families, and many friends. Hedvig was pregnant with Henry's child -- Henry Arnold Enberg who was born on November 5, 1914.
