Son of John H and Wilhemina Stroot.
Henry married Estella Toice and had a son, Don. Don became a professional basketball player(6'10")and engineer later; and had 2 offspring). Henry, was 6'7" tall.
About 1929, Henry adopted Estella's daughter, Erma Mansperger from her previous marriage to John Henry Mansperger(1897-1924) who died young from pneumonia.
Henry owned a tavern pre-1929, but that and his finances were adversely affected after the market crash that year, including his marriage, of which was amicably dissolved sometime thereafter. Estella then moved to St Louis for a couple of years.
Henry eventually switched careers working as a machine operator, staying in Quincy for the rest of his life.
He never remarried.
Henry was also quite the athelete, mostly in baseball; playing early on for the Tenk Baseball Team(Team history)(Team photo) along with his brother, Clem; and was once recruited for the majors, but declined so to stay locally at home; opting to continue playing for the Gem City Gems(founded c1906) of Quincy, a local semi-pro team post WWI and pre WWII. They would split ticket receipts(60-40 for the winner); so that's about as semi-pro as it got then.
Eventually it evolved to become the Quincy Gems, which was the farm club for the NY Yankees, circa 1946-1956, during the time of Mickey Mantle, of whom was well acquainted with some of the players; especially Quincy Gem teamate, "Red" Crowder. See his memorial for more about the team back then.
Recently, the team has been revived since the 1990's and has had several league championship seasons since.
Henry's siblings that survived to adulthood:
-Clem H Stroot(b1897-d1985),
-Gus Stroot(b1882-d1901),
-Ben Stroot(b1887-d1963),
-John Stroot(b1878-d1904).
Of those siblings, numerous other offspring resulted; lineages living in Quincy, Kansas City, San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego,etc.
