Schuh, Henry F. (1890-1965)

When Henry Frederick Schuh was not yet four years old, he narrowly escaped what surely would have been fatal injury falling off a moving train on a family trip back to Ohio, if not for the quick thinking of his mother's traveling companion who, in Henry's father's words, "caught him by the skirt just as he was ready to topple down the steps."

Three years earlier on May 30, 1890, the Rev. Lewis Herman Schuh and his wife Mary Loy Schuh welcomed their third child, and second-eldest son, Henry into their growing family, which at that time called in Tacoma, Washington home. Pastor Schuh was serving as pastor of Trinity Church, Tacoma. The family remained in Tacoma until 1895 when Pastor Schuh accepted a pastorate at Christ Lutheran Church in Columbus, Ohio, and the position of housefather at Capital University. Henry was named for his paternal and maternal uncles Henry Loy and Frederick Schuh.
