    HENRY A. WILKINSON was born December 10th, 1844, in Schennuta county, New

York. When five years of age his father removed to the state of Wisconsin and

his home was in the town of Gainsville in that state until he was sixteen years

of age. In 1861 his father removed to Sangamon county in the state of Illinois,

and in 1863 he enlisted in the 124th Illinois Volunteer Infantry to serve in the

war of the Rebellion, and in 1865 he received an honorable discharge and was

mustered out of the United States service at Springfield, Illinois.



    In 1875 he removed to Butler county, Nebraska, and remained there until the

autumn of 1882, and from there he came to Sanborn county, Dakota Territory, and

took a homestead and after proving up his government land in 1884, he became a

resident of Faulk county, and took a preemption claim on the north-west quarter

of section 22, township 120, range 69, adjoining his tree claim that he had

taken the year before. Since that time Mr. Wilkinson has been a resident of this

county. Four years ago he sold his land and became a resident of the city of

Faulkton where he engaged in the land business. For the last six months he has

been at the National Sanitarium at Hot Springs, S. D., and has just returned to

his home greatly improved in health.
