Henry B. Prey is a farmer on section 28, Jordan Township, and was born July 
16, 1841, in Lancaster Co., Pa. His father, Henry Frey, was a native of the 
same State, and was a farmer by vocation. He was reared to manhood on his 
father's homestead, and, in 1865, was married to Lizzie Keider. She was a 
native of Lancaster County, where she was married, and has become the mother 
of 12 children. One named Annie died in infancy. Lizzie A., Hattie, John, 
Amos, Henry, Jacob, Abraham, Daniel, Mary, Martin and Noah were born in the 
order named. The family remained in Lancaster County until 1863, coming West 
to Sterling in the spring of that year. In 1869 Mr. Frey bought 80 acres of 
land on section 28, which had been partly improved. His farm now includes 240 
acres in advanced agricultural condition, and well stocked with excellent 
grades of cattle. Mr. Frey is a Republican in political preference and 
relations.
