Henry's full name was William Henry Willits, and he was the Son of Jeremiah (Jerry) and Mary J. (Dean) Willits, and the Grandson of Henry and Racheal (Murphy) Willits, and the Great Grandson of Gabriel and Priscilla Willits, and the husband of Lavina Jane Holliday . They were Married on Sept./29/1882, and together they had three children, they were, one son, Benjamin C. J. Franklin Willits, who died on March/11/1959 in Fort Wayne, Allen County Indiana, and Twin daughter's, Georgia and Jessie Willits who were Born on Feb./22/1885 in Deming, Hamilton County Indiana. The Twin's died in Infantcy, and I believe that they are buried next to their Mother Lavina at the West Grove Cemetery, but there is no record of them being buried there. Henry's Second Marriage was to Dora E. Hunnicutt on July/31/1891, in Hamilton County Indiana, and together they had one Son, his name was Blaine Willits, and he was Born on Feb./1/1892 in Deming, Hamilton County Indiana, and died May/20/1965 in Noblesville, Hamilton County Indiana. Henry and Dora's Marriage did not last long and it ended in divorce. Henry's third Marriage was to Amanda Ella Ashby on Nov./7/1895, in Madison County Indiana, and together they had Five children, they were, Josephine R. Willits (Wertz), Charles Elmer Willits, and Ruby Willits, the last two are Unknown. Lavina's daughter Nellie Mae Holliday (Parker), and their young son Benjamin C. J. Franklin Willits was taken in by their GrandParent's, Benjamin Franklin and Mary Jane (Boggs) Holliday. Benjamin C. J. also lived with his uncle and aunt, Jonathan Fremont and Grace Maude (Holliday) Holloway for a short time. Henry's burial was a welfare case, so I believe that Henry is buried in a Unmarked grave at the Brookside Cemetery along with his Third wife Ella.
