He was mustered in as a First Lieutenant of Company I, Fifteenth Michigan Volunteer Infantry on March 13, 1862 by Lieutenant Colonel J.R. Smith at Monroe, Michigan. Henry was wounded at the Battle of Pittsburg Landing (Shiloh) on April 6, 1862 and was promoted to Captain. He was transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps due to his wounds. Henry died on May 15, 1867 at Point Coupee, Louisiana from Yellow Fever. At the time of his death he was a commissioner with the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands.
