Marriage
Henry L Warner Second Marriage Facts: 1. In the 1918 Register contained in "United States National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, 1866-1938", Henry was listed as a "Widower". The 1920 and 1930 Census' also lists him as a "Widower". 2. There is a Marriage Record showing that he married Sarah Calista Dunham on October 17, 1871 in Champaign - Illinois. Henry and Sarah apparently divorced as she remarried on August 14, 1879 to Samuel Marshall Graham. Sarah later died in 1925. Conclusions: 1. That Henry remarried sometime after 1879 and before 1918. 2 His second wife must have died before 1918. Future Work: 1. At the time of this note, I have been unable to find "Mrs Henry L Warner". If anyone can find this person, please add her to the family tree along with supporting records.
