    This gentleman was born January 17, 1845, at Bowling Green, Ky., where he
was reared and educated. He served in the Confederate army through the late war,
being a soldier of the Second Kentucky Cavalry, under Morgan. After the close

1871. In October of that year, following up the Star of Empire, he came to
Colorado and located at Pueblo. In pursuance to an arrangement made previous to
his coming West, Mr. Henry took the position of Deputy County Clerk, and also
opened a real estate and abstract office in partnership with Mr. McBride. In
1872, the firm of McBride & Henry was succeeded by Henry, Morgan & Co., of which
firm Mr. Henry was a member until 1875. He served as a City Clerk for Pueblo
from April, 1 1872, to April, 1873. He held the office of City Assessor in 1872,
and in 1876 and 1877. He was Deputy County Assessor in 1877. He was Engrossing
Clerk of the last Territorial Council of Colorado in 1876, which position he
filled with ability and with credit. Mr. Henry is now doing business for William
