From The Hickman Courier, August 10, 1872.
Death of an Old Citizen.-John D. Henry, one of our oldest citizens, died on the 2nd inst., in the 77th year of his age. He was born in Mononghehala (sic) county, Virginia, December 22d, 1795,-came to Kentucky in 1817, and settled in Gailatin (sic) county, and there lived until 1829, when he moved to this county, (then Hickman). He was a soldier in the war of 1812. He possessed a vigorous mind, ardent in his feelings and tenacious in all his purposes. Like most men of his temperament, he had his faults, but they were neutralized by his many good traits. His neighborly generosity and social disposition were marked and distinct. His occupation was farming, and we believe died on the farm which he purchased soon after his coming to this part of the State. His accumulations in the way of wealth, amounted to nothing more than a competency for his old age. He lost his wife many years ago. Had seven children, four of whom are living. Venerable in years and having served his country in war, and reared his family by tilling his farm, and seeing his children that are living settled and rearing up another generation, he has passed away, but not forgotten by those who knew him.
