He then worked as a jeweler at various places in Chester, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties until April 1, 1874, when he came to Clearfield Co., which has since been home.
Mrs. McHenry had a severe attack of grip in the winter of 1889-90 and afterwards her health was never good. Gradually the fell Destroyer, consumption developed. Everything that her husband and friends loving though and care could suggest was done, but in vain and after weary weeks of patient suffering, she fell asleep.
She was baptised in infancy into the Catholic faith, and was a devoted member of this church during life.
The body was taken to Frenchville, Pa. and there laid to rest in the Catholic Cemetery, Rev. Father officiating.
