Biography: 

Henry Armstid helps Lena Grove on her journey to find the father of her unborn child by giving her room and board for a night and a ride the next morning to Varner's store. Armstid's first name isn't mentioned in this novel, but in other fictions he is Henry; his character in The Hamlet (1940) is far less admirable than in Light in August.
