Presumably buried in Holy Trinity Cemetery with his parents. Birth date estimated from the fact that he was born between his sister Alice (1812) and brother Francis (1816).

Biography from P. A. Mullens, Creighton: Biographical Sketches of Edward Creighton, John A. Creighton, Mary Lucretia Creighton, Sarah Emily Creighton (Omaha: Creighton University, 1901), pp. 7-8.
Four years later [1851] in Licking County, Ohio, Henry, the eldest son, passed away, after having left an ineffaceable impression on the minds of the other members of the family. He had learned the trade of a carpenter, and while working at his trade in Louisville, Kentucky, met with an accident, which disabled him for life. We may well believe that his affliction, however painful to himself, and however much of a sorrow to the rest of the family, was in reality a source of great blessing. For to him in a large measure is due the sterling Catholicity of his younger and better known brothers. Could they ever forget the sweet patience of their brother, an invalid for fourteen years, his winning piety, and the lessons of the catechism, which he explained from his bed of pain? In after years, when memory would picture the old homestead, they would see once again the rude log-house, the puncheon floor, and the sweet, sad face of the saintly brother, whose presence was a benediction, whose life was a prayer, and whose beautiful soul, chastened and made holy by much suffering went at last to receive its well-merited reward. "Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord: for their works follow them."
