From the 1912 book Past and Present of Marshall County, Iowa:
Henry W. Mohr
From the Badger state has come to us a citizen who believes in doing well whatever he undertakes. This fact is apparent when we view his well kept farm and learn something of his methods. We refer to Henry W. Mohr, of Timber Creek township, Marshall county, whose birth occurred in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, October 3, 1867. He is the son of Peter and Mary Ann (Fitzgerald) Mohr, the father born in Germany, December 8, 1811, and the latter in Nova Scotia in 1837. The elder Mohr served in the army in Germany and when a young man emigrated to the United States, locating in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where he secured employment in a match factory, later working in a rope factory. He and his wife moved to Marshall county, Iowa, in the fall of 1869 and located on Church street, Marshalltown. After remaining there a short time, they located on a farm of eighty acres in Jefferson township. Selling out, he retired and moved to Marshalltown again, and here his death occurred in 1905 at the advanced age of ninety-four years. His wife died in 1904. They were the parents of eight children, seven of whom are living. Peter Mohr was a Democrat in politics and his wife was a member of the Catholic church. They were excellent people, highly respected by all who knew them.
Henry W. Mohr, of this review, was reared on the home farm and when a boy assisted with the general work about the place. He was educated in the public schools. He began farming for himself early in life and he is now the owner of a very desirable farm of one hundred and sixteen acres in this county. General farming and stock raising takes all his time, and he has a very comfortable income from both. Politically, he is a Democrat.
Mr. Mohr was married in 1894 to Amanda E. West, who was born in Marshall county. She is the daughter of John L. and Mary E. (Powers) West. The father came from North Carolina in 1862. The mother was the daughter of Thomas and Sallie (Scroggins) Powers. They came from Illinois in the fifties and spent the remainder of their lives here, the father dying on the farm he settled in Jefferson township.
To Mr. and Mrs. Mohr five children have been born, namely: Jane, deceased; Maud E., Vera, Ralph and Inez.
