Henry W. Limes, son of Hiram/Henry and Elizabeth Cory Limes was born in October 31, 1847 and died on September 22, 1905. On page 411 of the book, "Highland County Pioneer Sketches and Family Genealogies", by Elsie Johnson Ayres, under the heading of “Shops and Carriage Manufacturers” is this information.:
“Henry W. Limes and Mr. Doyle had a general merchandise store and Limes was postmaster of Dallas during the 1870s. They also had a blacksmith shop and manufactured carriages. Their large compound was on the south side of Main St.”

Below is a submitted suggested edit which is one of several newspaper accounts published regarding the manner of the death of Henry W. Limes.
I do personally feel that it should be noted that his wife was buried next to his him. :
"The News-Herald" Hillsboro, Ohio"
Thursday, September 28, 1905, Page 2
"Wealthy Stock Buyer
He was Shot and Killed By a Widow Near Jamestown, Ohio
Springfield, Ohio, September 23" -
"Henry Limes, a wealthy stock buyer living at Jamestown, 20 miles south of here, was shot and killed instantly by Sarah Richardson, a widow who lives alone about two and a half miles from Jamestown.
Limes was 50 years of age and leaves a widow and two children.
According to the story of Mrs. Richardson, he has been a frequent visitor to her house and Friday night came unexpectedly in an intoxicated condition.
She says she remonstrated with him and that he became abusive.
She succeeded in taking a bottle of whisky away from him and she says that he was about to assault her when she shot him through the heart with a revolver."
