Individual Details

By the age of 15, Henry was orphaned. He may have followed some of his Shelley uncles to Texas.

His Texas Death Certificate 57519.
Henry H. Haden of Mt. Selman, Cherokee Co, TX died 21 Dec 1939. He was married. Birth given as Nov 27th, without the year; he was 70 at his death. He was born in Lousiana. He died of chronic Brights disease and heart disease. Father was Geo. G. Haden, mother was Mary C. Shelley, both said born in Alabama. W. F. Haden was the informant. He was buried at Tyler, TX, cemetery not named; Geo. Williamson of Jacksonville, TX was undertaker.

Horace and Ellen and two of their children are buried Oakwood Cemetery, Smith Co, TX.

He has been elusive in the censuses. I suspect there were other children. I believe he remarried after the death of Ellen in 1894. In 1920, he was living with son George, as "father" and the "mother" listed is Emma M. Haden, age 45, born in Michigan.
