Henry Albert is buried in an unmarked grave.

He was born in Battenberg, Prussia, in the then German state of Hesse-Nassau, near the Black Forest. He was the eldest of eleven children born to George Kinkel and Wilhelmina "Minnie" Phisal/Feisal. It is not known when he immigrated to the United States, although there is a Henry Kinkel enumerated in the 1880 census in Ruby City, a mining camp near Gunnison, CO. Henry's sister, Marie, settled in Gunnison.

In December 1883, he married Rosie/Rosa Schaaf/Saaf in Denver. They had four children: Minnie, Edna, Albert Henry, and Charles. In 1898, Rosa died in Boulder, CO, and is buried in Columbia Cemetery, although the plot location is unknown. After Henry's death in 1903, the four children were each adopted by one of Henry's four brothers.

Henry worked, now and again, for his younger brother William at the Colorado Iron Works in Denver in the 1890s. At the time of Rosa's death, he is listed as an engineer at Chamberlain's Sampling Works in Boulder.

He died in Idaho Springs, CO, of pneumonia, with his brother Charles in attendance. At the time, he was an engineer at the Mattie Mine in Idaho Springs.
