HENRY CHILDERS was born at Dry Ridge February 11, 1815, four years before
the county of Grant was established by law, and at the time when Grant
county was a precinct of Pendleton.  After Grant county was laid off and
organized the first County Court was held at the Childers residence at
Dry Ridge.  Judge Childers was married April 12, 1838 to Elizabeth Bryant
Conyers.  Seventeen children were born to this union.  In early life he
was a Whig, and a devoted admirer and follower of Henry Clay.  He afterward
cast his fortunes with the Democratic party. In 1878 he was elected Judge
of the Grant County Court on the Democratic ticket, and was re-elected to
that office in 1882, serving in that important position for eight years.
He retired to private life in 1886.  In religion he was a Primitive
Baptist and in every respect a model citizen.  He died in Grant county in
August, 1899.
