Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [270-271]

           WILLIAM HENNE, farmer,section 22, Fairhaven Township, was born
        Dec. 7, 1854, at Newark, N.J., and is the son of HENRY H. and
        MAGDALENA (WINNES) HENNE. They were natives of Germany, and emi-
        grated in early life from their native land. They settled in New
        Jersey, and in 1863 came to Michigan. The father was a tailor by
        trade in his native country, and after coming to America he engaged
        in farming. His death, Sept. 21, 1882, was the result of accident.
        While arranging for the threshing of his season's harvest, he fell
        from the roof of his barn, his head coming in contact with a wheel
        of the separator, which produced a concussion of the brain, re-
        sulting in death soon after. He was 61 years old, and was an
        honored and respected citizen. The mother is 71 years of age, and
        is still living with one of her sons.
           MR. HENNE was about 10 years old when he came to Michigan. He
        resided with his parents until 1870, when he went to Cincinnati,
        Ohio, and learned the cabinet trade, remaining three years.  He
        then returned to Huron County, assisting his parents on the farm.
           He was married May 24, 1879, to ANNIE KUHL. Her parents were
        among the earliest settlers of the township of Fairhaven, where she
        was born, in October, 1861. They still reside on section 27.  Mr.
        and Mrs. HENNE have had four children — HENRY A. and FREDERICK W.
        are living; THEODORE and an infant child are deceased.
           Soon after the death of his father, MR. HENNE established his
        home on a portion of the family homestead, and now holds an
        undivided share in 120 acres of land. In political connection he is
        a Republican, and has been Clerk of his township three years. He is
        the present Supervisor (1884). The family belong to the Evangelical
        Association.
