Henry married Rebecca Hale on March 18, 1855 in Milton, Iowa and they moved from Iowa to southwest Missouri where their first three children were born in Carrollton, Missouri. When the Civil War began in 1861, Henry Amend, being a northern man with Republican union proclivities, was compelled to leave Missouri to save his life, sacrificing his property in order to get away.
They returned to Milton, Iowa and remained there until 1879 when they moved west via wagon train. They settled on the good farming land 4 miles west & ½ mile south of Stafford, Kansas, a small town in its early development. They built a sod house and participated in all the hardships incident to the settlement of a new country. His three eldest sons were soon married and raising their own families nearby. Henry held several official positions in Stafford.
In 1888 he sold out his possessions, and with his wife and two younger children, returned to Milton, Iowa to spend the remainder of his days. He was a consistent 43-year member of the Christian Church.
