JOHN NATHANIEL HENRIE, 6th child of James & Christena (Schow) Henrie, was b. 10 Sept. 1876, Panguitch, Utah [bapt. 10 May 1885, end. 9 Nov 1899]; m. (1) 2 Nov. 1899, Salt Lake City (L.D.S. Temple), to Emma Lee, dau. of Samuel Gulley & Annie Rebecca (Alexander) Lee. She was b. 7 July 1879, Panguitch [bapt.; end. & S.to H. 9 Nov. 1899]; she d. 1910s-15, Panguitch, and bur. there. He m. (2) Hazel Dean Barton, dau. of John Hyrum & Lydia Ann (Robb) Barton, b. 24 Dec. 1894. John Nathaniel d. 1920s, Panguitch, and bur there Feb. 6.
John Nathaniel, “Than,” was a successful farmer and raiser of fine sheep and cattle, and was an influential man of the town in building up the community and church. He had a love of civic improvement and owned one of the finest homes and farms in the county. Everything he owned and everything he did had to be the best.
He served one term as County Sheriff of Garfield County, from 1903-1904, and four terms in the State Legislature, from 1907-1915. He was very powerful there and had great influence for the good of the county and state. Everyone who knew him looked to him for leadership and advice. For two years prior to his death he had headed a move to rebuild the Hatch Town reservoir, and would probably have accomplished his purpose had he lived. During his early married life, he departed for the Eastern States to serve as a missionary for the L.D.S. Church. Two years later he was released from this assignment and returned home. When he reached Salt Lake City, it was necessary for him to travel from there to Marysvale on the old D.& R.G. Railroad, a freight train with one passenger coach, and all who have taken that ride know what a slow, tiresome, all-day affair it was. Then upon arriving at Marysvale he had an all-night ride in the mail stage, 50 miles to Panguitch, which arrived some time the next day, depending upon the alertness of the driver and the condition of the team. His wife, mother, brothers, and sisters met him at Three Mile Creek (3 miles north of Panguitch). Quoting from his diary, he says: “That was one of the happiest moments of my life when I saw my loved ones after so long an absence.”
He was chosen as first assistant in the Stake M.I.A. by John E. Steele, M.I.A. President, and served for some time. He was ordained a High Priest 30 Aug. 1908 and set apart as 1st Counselor to James Houston in the Garfield Stake Presidency, with Joseph E. Heywood as 2nd Counselor. He labored there until 18 May 1916, when he was made President of the Stake, with William T. Owens and Fred G. Gardner as Counselors. He was still acting in this capacity when he died in 1921. He was an able executive and influential in his Church affairs.
Emma (Lee) Henrie, his lovely, capable wife, was a successful homemaker, a kind and loving wife and mother, who died when her family of 7 children were yet young. Her family are all married and have children of their own, whom she did not have the joy of knowing. [p. 250]

As a small boy his heart harbored a great love for his father and mother. The time allowed him under their care was far too brief, however. His mother died when his sister LaVera was born and he as only 7 yrs. old. Then at the very needful age of 14, he lost his father, which left him bewildered and sorrowful.
