Personen : Pearson Henry "Hank" Fabian
Social Security Number: 104-03-5710
Henry Fabain Pearson grew up with his parents and two brothers in the family home located in Mt. Vernon, New York. Very little is known about his childhood, for nothing within the family was ever said about it. All that is known is Henry was raised in what is still considered a large home. It was three stories high with a basement, and Henry and his brothers lived on the second floor with their parents living on the first floor. Since it was constructed of wood his parents were always afraid if the house caught fire Henry and his brothers may not be able to escape. So the father constructed a hand made rope ladder for them. Henry was said to be the only brother who had the nerve to clime down it once.
Nothing else is known about Henry until November 21, 1933. This is when a workmans compensation claim has him still living at home. In addition, it has his employer as Western Union Telegraph Company, located at 60 Hudson Street, New York City.
Additional information was made available within another document in relationship to the above workmans compensation claim. It was issued by the Employees' Benefit Committee for Western Union Telegraph Company. Therein, it states Henry held the position of being a messenger in Mount Vernon. New York. Moreover, he was granted half his pay under the disability benefits, and the amount received was $3.66 per week from November 22, 1933, to December 3, 1933. Nowhere does the document state what kind of accident Henry had, or the extent of his injuries.
The next bit of information comes from a document dated October 28, 1940. It is a car insurance policy issued to Henry with his address listed as Battery "F" 156 Field Artillery, 44 Division, Fort Dix, N.J. Along with stating his car was a 1931 Cadillac Phaeton, it includes his rank listed as a private.
Through referencing other documents it can be seen Henry was promoted in rank from Private to Staff Sargent in less than a year. This was probably due to the fact the United States was only several months away from entering into WWII.
On December 16, 1944, Henry was transferred to Company Shanks, and boarded the Queen Elizabeth to Glasgow, Scotland. From there he traveled by train to Wallasay, England.
On March 3, 1945, Henry was put on a LST and transported to La Harve, France. At this time the Allies were making rapid advances on all war fronts. Soviet forces drove toward Berlin from the east and south. From the west, Americans and British troops pushed toward the German capital.
Additional records show Henry was assigned to the 1st. Army on March 15, 1945, and to the 3rd Army on March 18, 1945.
Henry was back in the USA by July 22, 1945. Records show he was given leave from the army, and by several days later he had already returned to New York and married Teresa Behringer.
It was only twelve days after being married Henry reported back to active duty as Fort Dix, New Jersey. Although the war in Europe was at a close it was still being fought against Japan in the Pacific. However, Henry was never sent back into combat again, for he stayed in the United States training new recruits, and military attack dogs.
Nothing else is known about exactly when Henry was released from the army, but it is believed it was after the end of WWII.
By March 26, 1947, Henry's marriage was clearly at an end, for allegations contained within divorce documents showed Henry committed adultery in a hotel located in New York City. This coincides roughly at the same time period Henry moved to Burbank, California. There he joined his brother Eric A. Pearson, and began working for him as a mechanic doing aircraft engine repair.
Little else is known until 1949, for during the early part of that year Henry had moved to Nome, Alaska. A wage and income tax withholding receipt has him working at Scotty's Bar & Liquor Store.
By personal accounts from within the family, Henry stayed in Alaska for about two years before returning to Burbank, California. By then Henry's mother had purchased a second home there, and it was said Henry lived with her for awhile.
It was sometime around the year 1958 when Henry moved to Miami, Florida. During which time he had returned to working as an aircraft engine repair mechanic for a company outside Miami International Airport.
Henry contracted throat cancer around 1960. It was during this time when doctors removed the right side of his lower jaw, and did reconstruction surgery to replace it with a piece of rib bone.
Although Henry had beating the cancer, the surgery and treatments had taken their toll on him. He now had to blend all his food before struggling to swallow it at each meal, and when he attempted to talk it came with great difficulty.
By 1971 Henry returned to working as an aircraft engine mechanic. He had already returned to living with his mother in a house she had purchased in Miami, Florida.
On August 10, 1973, Henry was found dead in his room. He had apparently died during the night by natural causes.
Obituary - Newspaper publication: Miami Herald, Dade County, Florida.
Mr. Henry F. (Hank) 57, of 471 West 30 Place. Hialeah, passed away Aug. 10. A resident here since 1953, coming from N.Y. He was an Aviation Mechanic for Aviation Specialties Inc.

Very little is known about Teresa "Terry" Behringer. However, it is believed she grew up as a child in New York City, for records have her living there between 1943 to 1945.
Other records show Teresa was married to Henry Fabian Pearson when he was on leave from the army during WWII. However, it was only a twelve day honeymoon, for her husband had to report back to active duty at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
By March 26, 1947, the marriage was at an end, for allegations contained within divorce documents showed her husband had committed adultery in a hotel located in New York City.

BATSCHELET, Fred - b: 1842 Canton of Berne, Switzerland
source: 1919 History of Henry Co MO, Uel W. Lamkin, Historical Publishing Co -
page: 586
residence: Davis Twp
Fred Batschelet - Fifty-six years ago, Fred Batschelet, pioneer settler and large land owner of Davis township, left the old home of his parents in Switzerland and crossed the ocean to America in search of fortune and a permanent home. After some years, he found what he was desiring in Henry County, Missouri, and besides having accumulated a fortune in land and money, he has contributed one of the
largest families of the county to the land of his adoption. Were the fact that he has reared a large family of fourteen children to sturdy manhood and womanhood the only thing which he had accomplished, he would still be worthy of an honored place in the historical annals of his adopted county. This is not all, however. Before Mr. Batschelet had learned the language and customs of his adopted country, and before he had obtained a foothold here in the making of his own career, he offered his services in behalf of the preservation of the Union, and is one of the few remaining Union veterans in Henry County. Fred Batschelet was born July 10, 1842, in the Canton of Berne, Switzerland, and is the son of Benedict and Elizabeth (Weber) Batschelet, who were parents of five children. Benedict and Elizabeth Batschelet lived and died in the land of their nativity. Fred Batschelet was reared to the life of a farmer, but learned the baker's trade in his youth. In 1862 he immigrated to America and first settled in Illinois where he remained for three years. During the last year of the Civil War he served in the. Union Army in Company A of the 40th Missouri Volunteer Infantry Regiment. For a time he was detailed to provost guard duty in the South. While a citizen of Illinois, he was married and sometime later he located in St. Louis. In the year 1870 he, with his brother John, came to Henry County and invested in a tract of 106 acres. The brothers cultivated this tract in partnership for about four years and then each undertook to farm for himself. From this small beginning, Mr. Batschelet has accumulated an entire section of land, or 640 acres. Mr. Batschelet was married in 1866 at Highland, Illinois, to Miss Anna Pfister, who was born in Switzerland, April 30, 1848, and came to America when a child with her parents who settled at Highland, Illinois. Fourteen children have been born to this union, as follows: Fred and Godfred, twins, born in Illinois, are farmers in Davis township; John, a farmer, living near Lewis Station; Benedict, a farmer in
Davis township; Minnie, wife of Daniel Dehn, Clinton township; Robert, lives in Oklahoma; Albert, a farmer in Bear Creek township; William, Davis township; Anna, wife of W. E. Hillebrand, Davis township; Mary, wife of Allen Mitchell, living on a farm near Montrose; Caroline, Bertha, Edward, and Rosa, at home with their parents. Mr. Batschelet is a Republican and has been active in civic affairs in his township during his long years of residence here. He assisted in the organization of School District No. 42 and is a valuable citizen. Three years ago he retired from active farm labor, advancing years compelling him to relinquish much of his activity which had brought him prosperity during the years in which he has been farming in Henry County. He is a member of the Reformed Church. Few men can look back over a lifetime of endeavor and point to a better record of achievement than can Mr. Batschelet.
