Henry C. Voris was born around 1846 in Indiana to Curtis and Sarah Voris. His father was a butcher. He grew up and attended school in Winchester, Indiana, and by the early 1860s, he was working as a baker. He enlisted in the Union army on September 5, 1861, and mustered in as a corporal in Company G of the 8^th Indiana Infantry later that day. He was wounded on March 7, 1862, in the Battle of Pea Ridge, but he eventually recovered and rejoined the regiment. He mustered out in Savannah, Georgia, on August 28, 1865. Voris probably settled in Ohio after the war. He married Ada Wallasten on December 20, 1866, and their son George was born soon afterward. Voris died sometime before May 1870.
