Notes and Additional Information:
William Henry was born in Decaturville, Tennessee October 7, 1852. He married Fredonia (Dona) Catherine Taylor September 20, 1882. They moved from Decaturville to Arkansas after their second child was born February 23, 1889 and before their third child was born in Lucas, Arkansas July 26, 1893. For health reasons, William Henry's doctor suggested he move west to a better climate.
William Henry's oldest daughter Mary Ella was four years old and remembers her father writing his brother John Edmund saying if he would come and help, they would move to Lucas. John Edmund rode horseback from Lucas to Decaturville, and the five of them started their three-month journey by ox and wagon back to Lucas.
After his brother John Edmund died August 25, 1906, Henry would go to their house every Sunday and line Charlotte Cordie and the girls up on the farm work that needed to be done the next week.
Henry and Catherine had four children: Mary Ella Byrd and Jesse Jones Lacy born in Decaturville, Tennessee and Rosette Lucas Humphreville and Ermond Edmond Byrne born in Lucas, Arkansas.
Henry died from "dropsy" at home in Ione, February 9, 1916. Two of their daughters, Rosette and Ermond, lived next door to each other in Hartford in Sebastian County, Arkansas. Their husbands worked in the coal mines. Dona was living with them when she died May 30, 1917.
