Henry M. Palm was born in July, 1841, in Delft, Holland, and when ten years of 
age emigrated to the United States, landing in New York City, where he 
remained five years. He removed to Summit County, Ohio, in 1858, and remained 
there until the breaking out of the war in 1861, when he went to Cincinnati 
and enlisted in Company B, Sixth Ohio Infantry, and served three years. He 
participated in the battles of Shiloh, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge and many 
others, and was mustered out as a non-commissioned officer in the summer of 
1864. He then returned to Cincinnati, remaining there till 1880, during which 
time he was engaged in the mercantile business---the last five years being one 
of the officers of the Cincinnati Coffin Company. He then sold his stock in 
that company and purchased the farm where he still resides. He is now carrying 
on a dairy, paying special attention to the making of butter, producing a 
first-class article, which demands the highest market price. He now milks 
fifteen cows, many of them being the Jersey stock. He was married in 1865 to 
Elmira G. Herrick, of Hudson, Ohio. They have three children---George D., 
Arthur H. and Sterling M. Mr. Palm and all his family are members of the 
Presbyterian church, of Cambridge City, Ind., of which he is an Elder. He
