He was born in New York State, on the Hudson River, January 8, 1844, a son of William and Polly (White) McNames, both natives of New York State. In 1844 the family moved westward to Michigan, locating in Lenawee County which was then a vast wilderness covered with primeval forest. William McNames died in Butler County in 1902. Henry Clay McNames grew to manhood in Michigan and from that state enlisted for service in the Union army, joining in 1862 Company B, Eighteenth Michigan Volunteer Infantry. He went south to Alabama with his regiment and there did provost duty and assisted in guarding the railroads. Mr. McNames was for sixteen months in Nashville and he served until the close of the war, receiving his honorable discharge at Jackson, Michigan, in July, 1865. After he was mustered out Mr. McNames returned home and began learning the wagon-making trade at Fairfield, Michigan. In 1868, accompanied by his father and the other members of the family, he moved west to Iowa, locating in Dayton Township, Butler County. Here Henry C. McNames purchased one hundred acres of land, partially improved, there being an old house upon it and forty acres under the plow. He cleared the remainder of the property and afterward added to it an adjoining tract of ten acres. Whereon he erected a house and barn and other necessary buildings. The McNames family still resides upon this property and in addition to its cultivation Mr. McNames of this review is engaged in business in Packard, where he purchased a repair shop in partnership with Mr. Holt, a blacksmith. He has secured a large patronage, for his work is first-class in every particular and his business methods at all times straightforward and honorable. The McNames family is as follows: Henry Clay, of this review; Abraham, who served in the Civil war as a member of the Eleventh Michigan Volunteer Infantry; Mary, who lives with her brother, of this review; Mrs. Lucinda Chittenden, a widow; and Caspar, a resident of Colorado. Mr. McNames gives his political allegiance to the Republican Party and although he has never sought public office, is interested in everything pertaining to the welfare of the community. He has been a resident of Dayton Township for forty-five years and has witnessed a great deal of the development of this section of the state. His life has been active, industrious and straightforward and in its course he has worked his way steadily upward, at the same time gaining the good-will and confidence of the people of the community where he makes his home.
