Henry H. Pershing, the eldest son of Daniel and Eliza (Hice) Pershing, was born on his father's farm February 16, 1828. His boyhood and early manhood were spent on the farm and his education was gathered in the public schools of the neighborhood. In 1851 he married Catharine Henry, a daughter of one of his father's neighbors. Shortly after his marriage he immigrated to Moline, Illinois, where he lived for fourteen years and conducted a general store. All of his children were born there. His wife died at Moline in 1865, and he moved back to Pennsylvania where he engaged in general merchandising, at New Florence, for some years. Later he moved to Denver, Colorado. He died in 1902 (sic --- actually 1899) while visiting his sister, Mrs. Emma Rogers, at Nineveh, Indiana County, Pa., and was buried in Hice's Graveyard.
