Militia

Description

This probably refers to Francis Henry (1862-1893), who is described elsewhere in this data base as recruiting militia in Washington Territory. He was the son-in-law of Dr. Anson Henry, the personal physician and close friend of President Lincoln. (Source: An Illustrated History of the State of Washington, 1893)

At this time, Wells, Fargo and Co. was a West Coast institution. They offered banking and “express” (rapid delivery of gold and anything else of value).

Abstract
