Porter circle, G.A.R. He served during the Civil War in the "Pennsylvania Bucktails" regiment and the Navy. He crossed the plains by wagon train in the 1870s with his wife and daughter. They spent some time in the Dakotas and Colorado before reaching Oregon, where they remained for about 14 years before coming to California and settling in San Jose. Henry and his wife moved to Mountain View about 8 years before his death. He never had much schooling but was a great reader of philosophy and religion. He wrote considerably about Spiritualism.
