Memories about Henry Lattin

 * Harold Lawrence McPheeters (1923- ), his biographer, has said that "He beat his second wife, Hannah, so badly she sought to get a divorce from him. He had to give her half of his property and he had to sell his house. Henry was a fundamentalist preacher who would say 'Praise the Lord' as he beat his wife." Note: The Brooklyn Eagle newspaper lists the person who beat his wife as "Daniel Lattin" and not Henry Lattin.
