He graduated from Colfax High School in 1937, attended Northwestern Louisiana College, served in the Armed Forces during World War II, and obtained his B.S. degree from L.S.U. in 1940. Henry married the former Marcia Brunson of Eunice, Louisiana in 1945. Their marriage was blessed with nine children: four sons—Ben, J. Thomas, Dan, and Bill; and five daughters—Betty, Marcia, Marty, Dorothy, and Sarah. He is also survived by his mother and two brothers, Ben, of Colfax, Louisiana, and L. Screven, Jr., of Bienville, Louisiana. Henry was a retired fed-eral employee of the England Air Force Base. Henry was licensed to preach in 1954, obtained deacon in 1962, and elder in 1965. He served the church faithfully in several of its smaller charges as a lay pastor. Among those charges were Melder, Hinston, Lewis Chapel, Seiper, Dodson-Couley, and Davis Springs.
