Vernon, where they had been to attend the marriage of his son, to a daughter of General Morgan, after they had reached the city and were being driven across the railroad track near the union depot, their carriage was struck by freight cars. They were both severely injured. He was rescued with great difficulty, suffering the loss of a leg. His wife, though terribly bruised and mangled, was restored to comparative health. He married in January 1841, Miss Anna M. Gleason, of Lucas county, and has two children living. His son, Henry D., a partner in the Globe Iron-works, and the Cleveland Dry Dock Company, also one of the fire commissioners of the city, served honorably through the war as an officer in the Mississippi gun-boat flotilla.
