A portrait Shannon Chester found shows his birth date in 1897 (and his gravestone) but both his WWI and WWII draft records show he was born May 27, 1895 in Worcester Co., MD. It is likely the latter is correct and the 1897 date was erroneously applied by relatives later in life.
He was a Private in WWI and then a Private First Class as of Aug 31 1918. He was honorably discharged on Jul 8 1919. He was overseas from Aug 31 1918 to Jun 28 1919. His decorations included the Order of St. Sava (Serbian).
In 1950, he is listed as a "capper" in a food production job.
Henry married Emily (Emma) Victoria Black, daughter of Louis F. Black and Ann (Annie) Elizabeth Harmon, in 1925.1 (Emily (Emma) Victoria Black was born on 15 Apr 1905 in MD 6 7 and died on 06 Feb 1933 in Wicomico Co., MD.)
