Thanks for all you did. Yes its a mystery. Might be he did died in the
Oregon home. Dont know.
Be nice to find some data thats hard core on him.
   Yes having more than one Henry even in Ny and Wiss and Minn has caused
hours of study and some have E in the Spouse name and some are born close
to 1830.
   Its hard to get out data when the name and spouse and b day are vague. ;)
