In 1906, Henry was hurt in a fall from his horse which required hospitalization for months. A severe fracture of both bones in his lower limb caused a doctor to determine amputation was the only way to save his life. Fortunately, this was notnecessary. Articles concerning the accident, his treatment, and release from the hospital are in the N.R.Pioneer. (see sources)
