At the age of 23, he married Amelia Susanne "Susie" Ruthardt and began farming her father's farm, which was 9 miles south and 1 mile east of Mount Vernon, SD. He did a lot of remodeling to their house, besides building a barn, granary, hog house, and chicken coop. In 1919 Henry endured the loss of three loved ones in only five months. His mother, Katherine and wife, Amelia died in May, and his youngest son, Ivan, in September. He must have felt the whole world was against him during that year. But with four small children to care for he found the courage and strength to carry on. He continued to farm and provide for his family with the help of relatives until January 1921 when he married Lillian Rosilia Heidner. After being married to Lillian for only eleven months, Henry met with a freak accident which would claim his life right before Christmas 1921. On the evening of December 5, Henry took a lantern with him to fill his car with gas so that he could leave early the next morning for a well-drilling job. The fumes from the gas ignited the lantern and he was severely burned trying to get the car out of the garage. He passed away on December 23, two days before Christmas. He's remembered by his children as being a hard worker, and a patient and understanding father who enjoyed singing them to sleep.
