CAPT. WILLIAM HENRY PAYS THE DEBT OF NATURE AT THE AGE OF 80 YEARS
At high noon yesterday the life of Captain William Henry, a veteran of the war of
the Rebellion and an old and highly esteemed resident of this city, came to a
peaceful and eternal end, after a gradual decline of more than a year. Capt. Henry
was one of the pioneers of this city and county, coming here about the time the
Wisconsin Leather Company located here and for many years serving that corporation
as its master mechanic.
He was born on July 6, 1821 in Dover, England, but came to this country when but a
boy, working his way through life unaided and alone for his parents died during his
early childhood and he had no relatives he could look to for guidance and assistance
but he was endowed by nature with the principles of genuine manhood and with
honorable aspirations and he earned and deserved the esteem of his fellow men. When
the war broke out he enlisted in the Union Army going out as a lieutenant in Company
D of the 27th Regiment and was breveted captain for meritorious service. While at
Little Rock, Arkansas, he was taken ill and after spending some time in an army
hospital, he was discharged from the army and sent home. He was married in 1856 to
Catherine Wagener, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Wagener of Mishicot.
His wife and two daughters, Mrs. Chas. Krause of this city and Mrs. Andrew Schmidt
of Milwaukee, survive him. His funeral will take place from his residence on Thursday
next under the auspices of the G.A.R., of which he was an honored member.
