    Henry and his family were living in Chicago in 1871 at the time of the Great Fire. Henry hired a wagon to haul his household belongings away and while waiting for the wagon, he helped his neighbor dig a hole and to bury all of his furniture. Unfortunately, the wagon never showed up. Finally, they were ordered by Army soldiers to leave at once. They started off with the silver, family bible and his tool box but the tool box was too heavy and had to be left. They stood in Lake Michigan and splashed water on themselves in order to keep cool. Once the rain put out the fire, they returned to their house, and found that it was gone, that they could not even find where it had been. By the time the lots were laid out again the neighbors’ furniture that had been buried was ruined.^dFound on the internet
