Born in Lubenberg, Germany, to John Edwin WILKE and Anna WILKENS Wilke.
Henry was a lad of ten years when he came to this country with his parents in 1854 and the family settled on a farm four miles from Two Rivers, in the midst of what was then a wilderness. When his parents were settled on the farm where, after years of hard work they cleared away the timber and stumps, he was able to attend the country school a few months during the winter. But although his attendance at school was limited, he took advantage of every opportunity to improve his knowledge and was successful in spite of difficulties.
In 1871 he was married to Elizabeth KRUMDICK.
