Henry learned early the trade of millwright and bridge builder. He became a superintendent of bridges on the Norristown and Germantown railroads. He was baptized in 1842 and moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1843. He worked on the Nauvoo Temple and
was subject to all the problems of that time period. They left Nauvoo and arrived in Winter Quarters late in October 1846. He built a log cabin in Kimball and they remained
until the fall of 1847, when the first group of saints left. He moved his family to a place on the Little Platt in Missouri, where he worked on the saw and grist mill. In 1851, he and his family started west again and arrived on his birthday.
In 1852, President Young asked him to help build bridges, mills, etc. He built the sugar works and many of the mills in the canyons and around the Valley. In 1863, President Young asked his help in the construction of the big Tabernacle. He worked out the design
of that building, and built ZCMI and other buildings.
He filled a mission in Pennsylvania. He was known as a skillful mechanic and practical builder and was well liked. He was active in the community and church all his life.
