He declared he was born Sept 12th 1877, and was then residing at 615 North Car St., Louisiana, Pike County, Missouri He declared his nearest relative was Kathryn Henshaw of the same address. He was recorded as tall, slender, blue eyes, light hair.²

In Riverview Cemetery, Louisiana, Pike County, Missouri, there is a burial for a Harold Henshaw, born Feb 28 1903, died Mar 11 1903.¹² He is buried in the same cemetery where William and his parents are buried, and could have been named after William's brother Harold.¹³ But since William's parents already had a son named Harold, it seems unlikely that this burial would have been another of their sons. All of William's other siblings were still unmarried in 1903, but William was married and perhaps still living in Pike County, Missouri at that time. It seems probable that this Harold was a son of William & Kathryn.¹³
