  • Notes 
    • Henry attended school in Comfort, studied both German and English. He worked in a drug store when quite young, then came to San Antonio, Texas, and worked for Ed. Steves & Son Lumber Yard. As his health was failing he later went to Boerne, Texas, and worked in the Wilkes Drug Store. Then he attended the college of pharmacy in Baltimore, Maryland, where he received a Degree of Doctor of Pharmacy in 1912. He returned to San Antonio and went into business himself.

      After many years in the drug business, he sold his store and entered politics serving as Park Commissioner for 12 years. After being defeated he went back into the drug business and has to his credit about 50 years of service.

      He was active in the Masons, the American Legion and St. John’s Lutheran Church of San Antonio. His hobby was traveling and seeing the country, both foreign and local. [17]
