    Notes:

    The 1850, 1910 & 1920 Census has Henry born in 1844. The 1860 & 1880 Census has Henry being born in 1845. The 1870 Census has Henry being born in 1842.

    According to Henry's death certificate he was born in November 1843 but the date is kinda hard to figure out. Ancestry also transcribed it as November 6th which is so far off the mark. According to the obituary for Henry he was born on November 24, 1843. When you calculate the death and the age given it is November 25, 1843 but there is always room for error in the date calculators. For this reason I am going with the obituary as it is most likely correct. The obituary on find a grave does not mention when it was published.

    The following is what i found on find a grave:

    HENRY C. DINIUS 82, IS DEAD OF PARALYSIS
    Henry C. Dinius, age eighty-two, formerly a farmer in Aboite Twp., Allen Co., but a resident of Roanoke since 1918 died early Saturday morning, at his home after a short illness of paralysis.

    Birth:
    Find A grave has Henry's birthdate as November 24th, and if you calculate the death date with the age given as 82 yrs, 4 months and 16 days, it calculates to November 25th. However, the birth date given is November 21st.

    Notes:

    Although the marriage record for Henry and Elizabeth states that Elizabeth's last name is spelled Hensele, the death record of their son has it listed as Hensel. Normally, I will go with the marriage record over a death record, however, the Hensel spelling makes more sense. Amanda, their daughter, death certificate also states Hensel.
