The handwritten letter states that Henry was married 4 times and that his 3rd wife was Henry Paine's mother, Charlotte. He died and is buried in Kansas.

The handwritten letter tells of the bridge across the Delaware at Shohola between Shohola and Barryville, NY - just went down, cables broke. Uncle Henry L. went down with it and 3 teams of horses & mules. The men got out safe, one team drowned. This happened about 69 years ago (from abt 1934). Brad Lilley has this same information.
