Henry was given a missionary blessing at Salt Lake City, Ut 8 Oct 1900 by Apostle John W. Taylor as follows:

"Brother Henry Bolingbroke, we the servants of the Lord, lay our hands upon your head and we set you apart to perform a mission in Great Britain, under the direction of the Presidency therof.

We say unto thee that inasmuch as you will devote yourself unto the Lord and serve him faithfully in this calling, that your sins shall be forgiven you and thou shalt be blessed from this hour forth with renewed portion of the Spirit of the Lord and it will guide you into the ways of all truth, and thou shalt lift up thy voice and thou shalt never be confounded while delivering the message of life and salvation unto the people, who dwell in that great nation.  And we say unto thee that thou shalt be blessed in thy ministry, if thou art devoted to thy calling and will labor diligently and search for the honest in heart and lift up your voice, and we say unto you, fear not the world, but be bold in proclaiming the principles of life and salvation unto those that sit in darkness, and in as much as you will do this, you shall have a reward for your labors and the Lord will bless thee, and His spirit will be your constant companion.  Your life and health will be precious in the sight of the Lord, and all things that are for your good shall rest upon you in that mission, even unto the acceptableness of our Father who is in Heaven.  And in due time thou shalt have the pleasure of returning home to the land of Zion in peace and in safety.  We say unto thee therefore, go forth and be of good cheer and be faithful unto the end and thou shalt have everlasting life, for we seal these blessings upon your head in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

This article was placed in the "Idaho Enterprise" at Henry Mitchell Bolingbroke's death in May 1905:

"In the death of Harry (Henry) Bolingbroke, Malad has lost a good citizen, although it can be said that death came as a relief to the suffering.  Soon after returning  from a mission about two years ago, he was stricken with some malady which seemed to affect the spine and limbs.  Physicians were consulted but could give no aid or even hope for his recovery and he grew feeble, almot helpless, practically losing his sight and his condition becoming most pitiable.  The end has come and if having lived an honorable and straightforward life and endured such suffering with great forbearance, entitles one to the highest glory after leaving this world, Henry Bolingbroke will surely receive it.
He will leave a wife and several children, adults, a respected family, all of whom devoted themselves as best they could to his care and comfort during the period of his affliction.
The funeral took place Wednesday."
