He helped on the farm when two of his brothers served in World War I I. He then went to Kansas City to work for Coleman Stove and Boeing Airplane. He continued to farm until he decided to become a carpenter/contractor after working with his father. He built many houses in the Long Lake and Leola area and did cabinet work. He built an addition to the Long Lake Church, which gave him great joy. When in Leola, Henry married Laura M. Breitag on Nov. 24, 1960.
