Well another year come and gone. Certainly has been one for the history books. Please be careful as you celebrate the new year tonight. If you are drinking,... have a designated driver. Remember to social distance as best you can and wear a mask where you can't. Highway fatalities are up significantly this year and we don't want to add to that any tonight or to next years numbers over the weekend. Be safe out there, look out for one another and enjoy the holiday. We wish you the very best in the year ahead and we remain here to serve you, our citizens, friends and neighbors to the best of our ability each and every day. May God bless each of you and keep you safe. Sheriff Oberkrom See more

This resident was a 75-year-old male that resided in the town of Urich. This brings the total number of COVID-19 related deaths in Henry County to 22.

This is a time when families and friends usually gather together, but this year, I am pleading with each of you to stay home if possible. But, if you must get out, please wear a face covering, remain six feet apart, and wash your hands. It is the simple things that will help reduce the spread of this disease, and could potentially save the lives or your family members.
