He was married about 1915 to Carrie Lee Hill (1896–1981).

A minister living at 702 28th Avenue North in Nashville, Tennessee, Henry was 75 years old and married when he had a cerebral thrombosis and died on July 7, 1963 at Hubbard Hospital, where he had been for several weeks.

Funeral Services were held on July 10th at Gordon Memorial Methodist Church, and burial was in Hills of Calvary Memorial Park, Nashville.
