      «i»According to the 1850 Indianna Census, Henry was a cabinetmaker.

      Henry and Angie came to Ferndale from Indiana in 1884 via the water route which was around Cape Horn (Biography of George A. Munroe). They were preceded by their sons John and Daniel who arrived in Ferndale in 1880 and established a saw mill.

      Henry was baptised February 1, 1808 according to a baptismal record in Inverness Parish. His cemetery record (Enterprise Cemetery, Whatcom Washington) gives his birthdate as Dec 25, 1911 [sic.] and his date of death as Dec. 2 1888

      Angie's brother Augustus arrived in Ferndale in 1889.«/i»
