HENRY L. WOODWARD is the fourth son of Clark and Ann (Warren) Woodward,
natives of Vermont and Ohio, respectively, and was born in Jefferson County,
Ind., October 26, 1840. He accompanied his parents to Mooresville in the
summer of 1861, and here he has since remained. His father, who died at the
age of seventy-two years, was Postmaster at Mooresville from the year 1861
to 1864-65, and was succeeded therein by the subject of this sketch, who

the same time. In 1873, he formed a partnership with Reuben Harris in the
grocery business. In 1875, Mr. Harris sold out to James Hinson, and the

1873, he was married in Mooresville to Artie, daughter of William Rose, of
