Henry, who was named after his paternal grandfather (Dr.) Henry Connelly of New Mexico, was the only son of Peter Connelly and Cornelia Davy. He appeared with them on the 1870 Federal Census (Pg 729-B) and the 1875 KS State Census in Wyandotte (Ward 2), Wyandotte County, Kansas.
His mother died sometime after the birth of his youngest sister Gertrude, when Henry was not even 10 years of age. His father subsequently moved to Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, and Henry and Peter appear together there on the 1880 Census (ED 14; Pg 399-A) while his sister Gertrude resided with relatives in Pleasant Hill, Cass County, Missouri. His father remarried in 1886 when Henry was about 17.
Henry became a tailor and opened his own shop, which he ran until he died. He was 27 years old when he married Mary Francis Trimble, a local school teacher, on 16 Feb 1897 in Clay County, MO. The couple settled in Joplin in Jasper County, residing on North Pearl Street, where they appeared on the following census records: 1900 (ED 37; Pg 9-B); 1910 (ED 40; Pg 12-A); 1920 (ED 48; Pg 13-A); 1930 (ED 9; Pg 5-A). Mary died in 1934, about a year and a half after his father Peter. Mary and Henry never had any children.
After Mary's death, Henry married a neighbor, Harriet Sarah "Hattie" (Thompson) Harutun, widow of Dr. Moses B Harutun, on 11 Nov 1936 in Joplin. He was 67; she was 68. They were only married a little more than 14 months before Hattie died, leaving Henry alone to weather the remaining years of the economic depression and to watch as the world went again to war. The nation was just settling down into a post-war lull when Henry succumbed to abdominal cancer. His sister Gertrude survived him.
