Notes
a. Note:   N200 He was elected to the Minnesota state legislature in 1870. Henry moved to Chaska, MN and formed a law partnership with L.L. Baxter. He suffered from paralysis and deep depression which became so unbearable he took his own life by slitting his throat with a razor. His body was found near the river just south of Chaska within sight of his home.
  From his obituary (The Weekly Valley Herald): Mr. Child has for the last year suffered greatly from paralysis, and for the last few weeks his disease seemed to grow worse, and he became very sad and gloomy. He often said his suffering was more than he could bear.
  On Monday morning after transacting some business with Col. Baxter, his law partner, and Sheriff DuToit, he suddenly left his office, saying that he was going to the Court House, but instead of visiting that place, he at once disappeared from the village. - As he did not return Monday night his wife became alarmed and notified Mr. DuToit of his absence. Search was then at once commenced and resulted in finding his body Tuesday evening near the river just south of this village, and within plain sight of his home and his beloved family.
  This terrible tragedy has cast a deep gloom over our village, where Mr. Child was much beloved and highly respected.
b. Note:   suicide
