Henry Herman Denhardt (March 8, 1876 – September 20, 1937) was an American politician and military officer, who served as the 34th Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky from 1923 to 1927, under Governor William J. Fields. He later served as the 36th Adjutant General of Kentucky from 1932 to 1935 under Governor Ruby Laffoon.
Denhardt was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky. In November 1936, he was charged with the murder of his girlfriend, Verna Garr Taylor, and tried in New Castle, Kentucky. The trial ended with a hung jury. Before he could be tried a second time, he was shot and killed by Taylor's brothers at the Armstrong Hotel in Shelbyville, Kentucky on September 20, 1937. The three brothers were later acquitted of murder.[1]
