He settled in Benton county, Iowa on a farm down the road from the John Doebel family. They were also from Holstein and Henry had went to school with the Doebel children back in Germany. Sophia Doebel and Henry were married on 26 August 1861 in Linn county, Iowa. They farmed for many years in Benton co, Iowa before moving to Crawford co, IA in 1869 where they stayed until the late 1870's. They moved to Hastings, NE and ran a boarding house and also worked the carpenter's trade. A few years later, he moved to rural Adams county, NE and started farming.
