    Would guess this was taken somewhere in the neighborhood of 1910-1915. This is a poor copy, being a photo of a photocopy.

    Layne, Henry Miller

  • Notes 
    • A farmer according to the 1880 US Census.

    Born:
    • Reasonably certain Henry was born in Grundy County as the 1850 census places him there as a four year old. In the 1840 census, his father, Daniel Layne, is living in Warren County. However, Grundy County was formed from portions of Warren County in 1844. It's reasonable to believe that Daniel had not moved, or if so not far.

    Buried:
    • Death Certificate indicates burial at Pickett Cemetery however I have personally visited Henry Miller's grave at Cookston Cemetery.
