Shared note	Lexington Progress, August 25, 1933 Henry P. Davenport, son of the late Isaac N. and Eliza Holmes Davenport was born in Henderson County at Scotts Hill, September 25, 1875, and passed from earth to his final accounting at his home in Lexington, August 14, 1933, after a long and lingering illness. Mr. Davenport was married May 13, 1906, to Miss Glenna Blackburn of Scotts Hill, who survives, and to this union were born four children, three surviving Oeda and Rubye of Lexington, and Henry B. of Bruceton. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Will Fanning and Mrs. E. E. Butler of Lexington, and one brother, W. J. Davenport of Humboldt. It is worthy to note in Mr. Davenport's family that his father, who was a Federal soldier, was on the Federal gunboat, Sultana, when it blew up the Mississippi River near Memphis in the spring of 1865, and caused the death of some 1500 Federal soldiers. Mr. Davenport and several others of his soldier brothers floated down stream with the aid of many floating things and finally reached the banks of the Mississippi River. Henry Davenport came to Lexington from Scotts Hill in 1917, after several years of service as rural mail carrier, and his first business here was that of salesman in the firm of Brown Brothers, after which he had a business of his own for a while. When his health failed he retired. He was a quiet, honest man and his devotion to his religion was generally known. He had been a member of the Church of Christ since he was 20 years old. Largely attended funeral services were held from the home on Huntington Street conducted by Elder J.O. Brown, assisted by Rev. Fleetwood Ball and Prof. Gordon Turner. Interment followed in Lexington Cemetery
