SERVICES FOR PIONEER BUSINESS MAN AT METHODIST CHURCH
Funeral services for the late Henry H. Helphenstine, the aged pioneer of Cheyenne and veteran of the civil war, who died at Sidney, Nebraska, while en route from Cheyenne to Sheridan, will be held from the local Methodist Episcopal Church tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with internment at the city cemetery.
Deceased was a pioneer merchant of Cheyenne, although he had been retired from active business for a number of years.
He came to this city 44 years ago, when the town was a typical frontier settlement. For a number of years he was actively engaged in the meat market business with a brother-in-law, Richard Durbin. He later went to Rock Springs, after disposing of his business interests here, where, until 3 years ago he was employed as manager of the company stores for the Central Coal and Coke company. Ill health necessitated his retirement.
He served in the civil war with Company A of the 18th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, enlisting in 1861. After 3 years of active fighting, he received a bullet wound in the leg, which disabled him during the remainder of the war. The wound never fully healed, and recently gangrene developed, which necessitated four operations immediately following his withdrawal from active work at Rock Springs. He was weakened by the operations.
Soon after he moved with his wife to Cheyenne where they purchased a home at which place they have resided until the present.
…a member of J. F. Reynolds Post No. 33, G. A. R. and of the Knights of Pythias.
He is survived by a wife and one daughter, Mrs. Ira Kingsley, wife of the pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Sheridan.

PENSION INCREASE FOR HENRY HELPHENSTINE COMES TOO LATE
Senator Warren has received notice of the final approval of his bill to increase the pension of Henry H. Helphenstine to $50 per month, which was signed by the president on August 17, just eight days after the sad and unexpected decease of the soldier [newspaper miscalculates Henry's death].
Henry…served in the civil war as a private in Company A, 18th Regiment, Indiana Infantry. During that service he suffered a gunshot wound to the leg, which continued to be a source of great pain to him throughout his lifetime, making necessary several amputations of the wounded limb.
A great many of his friends in Cheyenne had been interested in Senator Warren's efforts to increase his pension to $50, the maximum allowed by Congress in such cases…
