H.C. came in NY in 1867 at about 14 years old. In 1870 he moved to Sacramento (1870-80) with a visit to Whatcom county in 1873 when
he was 20. He went to NY in 1911 at the age of 59. He went to Alabama at age 66. He had many, many gold claims (at least 10), not 3. Other family members, including James Parker Ehlers, had gold claims in the same area. I have folders for each claim with the name(s) of those who filed and renewed the claims between 1897-1912. Nancy Dobbs was born in Tennessee, (January 12, 1857). She married HC on August 16, 1885. -Wayne Ehlers
I have a Physics book written by Henry (Pub 1911). Having taken 3 Sem of physics, God knows how many related engineering courses, and having continued reading a fair amount of physics, I can tell you with some limited authority that the book is incredible. Consider...He wrote this while on an isolated Farm doing back-breaking labor every day. The book absolutely astounds me. The man had to have one of the finest minds of the time. I only wish that I'd a ended up with more of it
