LONG LINE OF LOVE

This Henry came to America as a young boy and became a farmer in Ochiltree County Texas,

he married Pauline "Pauly"

This Henry came to Bokchita Oklahoma Indian Territory, as a young boy by way of

TRAIL OF TEARS

he married Phoebe Onie

this Henry

 turned one on February 26

and is sitting on the ground where his family has farmed for over 100 years

 in a room full of young and old

while he was eating his tractor cake

each stood in turn to say who they were and how they were related to Henry

as we all stood to salute Henry on his big day

I couldn't help but wonder if 

Henry Benton

and 

Henry Pshigoda

were talking a few things over... 

namely... how in the world did their separate lives all those years ago...

become woven into 

one little boy named

Henry
