He was elected captain of the Cannelton Light Infantry, Company D, First Regiment Indiana Militia, with George Palmer first lieutenant, and Edward Everett Cummings second lieutenant. Ozart Hall was obtained for drill purposes, its name becoming "The Armoury" and the company made a creditable showing during the period for which its men enlisted, attending state encampments, giving exhibition drills, dress parades, etc., and holding enjoyable military balls in the hall. The company's name was changed to the Ewing Guards in compliment to one of the state officers, but it was not reorganized after expiration of its term of service.
Captain Henning was his father's namesake and the eldest son born to the third marriage of William Henning, Sr., a native of Pennsylvania, December 17, 1829, but who was taken when six months' old to Germany by his parents, John and Dorothea (Hildebrand) Henning. At the age of twenty he came back to America, living for a time near his birthplace but later in the "panhandle" of (West) Virginia, and in Ohio. Here he studied law, and in December, 1858, at Columbus, was admitted by the Supreme Court of Ohio to the practice of his chosen profession.
His first marriage took place June 2, 1850, at Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to Elizabeth Helfenbein, who bore him one child. After her death, in 1854, Lena Howiler became his wife, at Millersburg, Ohio, and was the mother of two children. She died in 1858, and September, 1860, he was again married, to Sarah Elizabeth Cleveland, of Calais, Ohio. This union lasted until into its fortieth year, William Henning's death occurring March 27, 1900, and nine children grew to maturity as its offspring. Of these, eight were born in Cannelton, which was the family home after 1866.
William Henning and William Cleveland Henning practiced law together and were especially active in promoting the erection of the Cannelton water-works and electric light plants, whose construction work was done during the years of 1892-93.

To John B. Bacon, of Troy, a son of Dr. Jesse D. and Emma (Leming) Bacon, is therefore due the distinction of establishing in 1890 the Troy Times, the first paper actually printed in Perry County's oldest town. For two years he continued its publication as a Democratic weekly, selling out in April, 1892, to Louis J. Early, of Daviess County, Kentucky, who had been engaged in journalism at Louisville, associated with William Stone Sterett (a son of the witty "Jeff" Sterett, of the Hawesville Plaindealer), of Hancock County, in a sparkling Sunday weekly, "The Girl," devoted to society personalities, the drama, etc., printed on paper of an attractive pink tint.
