Clifford Henry (1873-1959) was the son of Benjamin Franklin & Barbara Isabelle (Bates) [should be Botts] Henry. He clerked in his father's drugstore on the south side of the Square in Kirksville, Missouri, as a teenager. Then, after graduating from Kirksville High School, he attended St Louis College of Pharmacy. He earned a PhG (Pharmacy Graduate) in 1894, followed by an MD in 1896 from Jefferson College of Medicine in Philadelphia. Dr Henry spent most of his professional life in Minneapolis as a practicing physician and Professor of Anatomy at Northern Institute of Osteopathy. He retired in 1939 and returned to Kirksville for the remainder of his life.


BENJAMIN F. HENRY, a native of Jacksonville, Illinois, was born September 26, 1847, a son of John and Elizabeth Henry. He was married November 8, 1872, to Belle Botts, daughter of Joshua and Barbara Botts. They have one child—Clifford Elmore, born December 20, 1873.

Mr. Henry came to Benton County Missouri in 1867, and engaged in farming; came to Kirksville 1869, and clerked for F.A. Grove, in a drug store. In 1883 he purchased an interest in the store, after which the firm was known as F.A. Grove & Company. The store burned in 1890, and Mr. Henry bought Mr. Grove's interest. For twenty years he has conducted what is known as Henry's Drug Store. He has been in the same building thirty-four years.

B.F. Henry is a Democrat in politics. He belongs to the Masonic lodge, Chapter, Commandery, Shrine--in fact, has taken all the degrees in Masonry except the thirty-third. He serves as President of Kirksville Gas, Heat and Electric Company, and is interested in many other business enterprises.
