    HENRY METZ was born in Germany., February 18, 1846 and came to the United

States with his parents locating in the state of Illinois.



    He was but fifteen years of age at the time the Civil War commenced, yet he

had an honorable war record. He was among the early settlers of Faulk county and

took an interest in social and political affairs. In politics he was an earnest

and devoted friend and an able and honest opponent. In the campaign that

culminated in the admission of South Dakota as a state, Mr. Metz was an

intelligent and active worker, and an influential leader among his German fellow

citizens. In his death the community in which he lived experienced a serious loss.
