General Notes: Husband - Robert H. Henry


In early life, he acquired a good business education. He taught school for several years in the state of Kentucky, and afterward in his native county in Pennsylvania. After his marriage, Mr. Henry lived on the old family homestead for a number of years, and became one of the successful farmers in the county. He was one of the incorporators of the Harbor Creek Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and served as Secretary and Treasurer of the company continuously until a few months previous to his death. In 1855, he removed to Erie, and engaged extensively in the boot and shoe business for several years. He afterward engaged in the oil refining business, and later in the lime and cement business. At the time of his death, he owned a large interest in the Erie Lime & Cement Company. He was also at one time a member of the firm of Sheppard, Henry & Co., who owned a line of the finest and largest steam and sail vessels on the Great Lakes. He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church in Erie for many years.
