HENRY COMINGORE was born at Harrodsburg, Ky., May 22, 1813, and was
brought up there and in Indiana, to which latter place his parents removed
in 1825, locating at Rockville, Park County, Indiana.  His early education
was very meager - consisting of his being able to read, write and cipher a
little.  In 1828 he went to Indianapolis, and entered the office of Smith
& Bolton to learn the printing business, at which he has since been
engaged - a period of about fifty-six years.  He is thus the oldest
printer in the State, having spent more days in the printing office than
any other living citizen.  Two years after going to Indianapolis, he went
to Madison, Indiana, where Bolton had started another office, but in 1833
he became connected with the publication of the Wabash "Herald", whose
editor was John Marts.  About a year later Mr. Comingore went to Covington
and started the "Western Constellation", but after two or three years old
sold out and engaged in milling, but this property was soon destroyed by
fire.  He then went to Indianapolis and again entered a printing office. 
In 1839 he came to Paoli, Orange County, Indiana and found the "True
American", which he conducted until 1846, then went to Jasper and started
the "American Eagle", which paper he removed to Paoli in 1848 and
conducted until 1874.  From 1876 to 1878 he conducted the "Greenback
Advocate".  He is at present connected with the "Paoli News".  His
marriage to Miss Cynthia Ann Johnson occurred at Rockville, November 10,
1834, and the following are his children:  David O., Mary E., Edward H.,
Joseph W., Henry, Jr., and one deceased.  Mr. Comingore is an
old-fashioned Jacksonian Democrat, and has during his long life rendered
his party signal [sic] service.
