HENRY M. FORRY, farmer, P. O. Bonneauville, was born two miles northeast of 
Hanover, York Co., Penn.; son of John (a farmer by occupation) and Nancy (Myers) 
Forry, who died in Hanover, aged sixty-six and eighty-three years, respectively.  
They had fourteen children:  Jacob and John (twins), the latter living in Ohio; 
Eliza; Nancy; Mattie; Abraham; Maria; Henry; David, a farmer in Indiana; Amanda; 
Millie; Mrs. Barbara Kindig, who died in Washington, D. C.; Benjamin and Martin 
(the latter deceased), and Frances, married to Amos Rohrbaugh.  The Forry family 
originally came from Germany.  Henry Forry has been a farmer nearly all his 
life, though he resided for four years in Littlestown, Penn., but subsequently 
removed to Bonneauville, in the fall of 1865; bought land, and has still a farm 
of 110 acres.  He was married to Louise, daughter of Benjamin Landis, and she 
has borne him three children:  John L., married to Addie, daughter of Levi 
Weikert (have one child, Charles Forry); Mary Jane (deceased), and Harry G., who 
was partly educated in the home schools, partly under the private instruction of 
Dr. A. Noel, partly at the Preparatory to Pennsylvania College and Select 
Classical School at Littlestown, Penn., necessary branches, preparatory to his 
taking a medical course.  Our subject has ever been a Republican in politics.
