**********************************************************************

Henry B. Ward is the son of Griffin and Elizabeth Ward, nee Benner,
natives of Ohio.  He is the fifth in the family of ten children, and
was born in Ross County, Ohio, in 1844, being reared to the pursuit
of agriculture.  In 1864 he enlisted in the Union Army, being first
enrolled in Company H, One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Ohio Infantry,
re-enlisting in 1865 in Company I, One Hundred and Eighty-fifth Ohio
Infantry; he served about eighteen months, participating in no heavy
battles, and was honorably discharged in October, 1865.  He returned 
to his home in Ohio, whence, in 1866, he immigrated to the State of
Missouri and settled in Crawford County.  Young, active and stout, he
followed various pursuits, and soon became a land owner.  His marriage
to Phoebe, daughter of James Carr, occurred December 31, 1868, and 
they became the parents of three children: Anna, Cora and Mary.  In
1878, death severed Mrs. Ward from her husband and three small child-
ren, and in the same year Mr. Ward took for his wife, Jane, daughter
of Austin and Mary A. Ogletree, the former of whom is deceased; to
this union two children have been born, Carrie P. and Ivey M.  Since
his marriage Mr. Ward has devoted his entire attention to the duties 
of his farm, which consists of 120 acres, all well improved, upon
which is erected a substantial residence; he is a member of the Repub-
lican party and belongs to the G. A. R.  Both Mr. and Mrs. Ward are
consistent members of the Northern Methodist Church, to which they
give cheerful assistance.
