Henry married Susannah C. Swartz, daughter of John Swartz and Mary Bright, on 15 December 1867 in Findlay, OH.^{1 2 3} (Susannah C. Swartz was born on 28 April 1846 in Basil, OH,^{1 3 7} died on 28 January 1928 in Byron, NE ^{1 7} and was buried after 28 January 1928 in Republic, KS ^{1 7}.)

  Noted events in their marriage were:

• They appeared on the 1880 US Census in Washington Township, Republic County, KS on 10 June 1880. ³

NOTE - Charles H. Beery who was listed as a nephew was the son of Sophia Etta Swartz, a sister to Henry C. Swartz so his relationship was actually a nephew to his wife, Susannah. Sophia's husband had died some years prior and young Charles was living with his uncle's family. I have not determined where his mother, Sophia, was living at the time of the 1880 census but I believe that she returned east to either Ohio or Illinois where she remarried. [Brian L. Lightfoot]
