Church records indicate Henry converted from Lutheran to Methodist in 1847, and joined their ministry in 1850. They also list his places and dates of birth and death, as well as his place of burial. He was an active minister at the time of his death, with 42 years service as a minister under the St. Louis conference of the German Methodist church.
Henry and his wife were married in St. Louis in 1849. Dorothea had landed there at the age of 19 with other relatives from Germany. In the 1860 census, the family was living in St. Charles, Missouri. In the 1870 census, they were living in Pekin, Illinois, and in St. Louis as of the 1880 census.
In 1876, Henry's daughter Amelia Marie "Mollie" married Oscar O. Bird in Henry county, Iowa. An 1881 Burlington newspaper noted that Rev. H. Lahrmann of St. Louis was the guest of Mr. Bird, who was in Burlington attending the German M. E. conference. Several September 1890 Burlington newspapers noted that Rev. Henry Lahrman of Keokuk, Iowa had been appointed to represent the St. Louis District at the German Methodist conference, held in Burlington.

It would appear that Henry was a short-time resident of Burlington, Iowa at the time of his death; he had protested the pavement of Franklin street between 6th and 7th streets in May 1891, and his widow was ordered to pay for those improvements in October of that same year. However, no mention of his death has been found in the Burlington newspapers. His death is listed in various versions of the "Iowa Deaths and Burials, 1850-1990" index on the FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com websites, but no specific location was given in that index.
