Henry was working on a road crew when an errant driver sped through a dust cloud and struck the tractor he was on, knocking it over on top of him. When the paramedics came, he got up and walked to the ambulance, claiming he was fine. He died the next day in the hospital from internal injuries.

Since he was 34 when he married Henrietta, I wonder if he were married before. I haven't found any kind of record of such.
