WILLIAM HENRY VALENTINE


William Henry Valentine was born March 20, 1834 in Franklin Co., MS and died
May 18, 1900 in GRANT PARISH, LA.. He was a veteran of the civil war and was
wounded several times. William Henry was my Great-great uncle and is buried
at the Oak Grove cemetery in Grant Parish, LA . William Henry was married four
times and had a total of `17 children by three of his wives. One wife Julia
Hagen is buried with him at Oak Grove. Julia died in 1921 in TX and the body
was returned to GRANT PARISH, LOUISIANA for burial beside her husband William
Henry.

I paste below the 1921 obituary of Juila Hagen Valentine.
