The Cambria freeman. (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938: October 27, 1870
In Butler, Pa., at the residence of H. J. Berg, at 1-1/2 o'clock, pm on the 10th
inst., Mr. Henry Crouse, at the ripe age of 91 years and 8 months.
The deceased was a quiet, unpretending honest citizen. When the war of 1812 broke
out he shouldered his musket in defense of his adopted country, under Col. Caberry,
and was discharged after three months' service. In May, 1814, he volunteered again
and fought under Capt. Rood, Col. Thompson and Gen. Winder at the battle of
Bladensburg. Mr. Crouse was, perhaps, the only survivor who fought at that battle.
He never applied for a pension, and when urged to do so his reply was, "There are
greedy fellows enough in this country." - Butler Herald. Mr. Crouse was the father
of Messrs. John and Jos. Crouse, of Johnstown, and grandfather of the Messrs.
Crouse, of this place.
