Monroe Sentinel

The Masonic festival and dance
held at Turner Hail last night was a
very brilliant and enjoyable affair
throughout. The regular exercises,
consisting of vocal and instrumental
music, an address by T. Scott
Ansley, of Mineral Point, a dance,
and elegant supper furnished by the
ladies, were managed admirably,
and were enjoyed by one of the
largest ssemblages of our best peo-
pie including many invited guests
from Mineral Point, Darlington.

where. Judge Dunwiddie presid-
ing with his usual dignity and ur-
banity. The musical part of the
programme was unusually good.
The M. C. Band discoursed several
overtures; vocal solos by Mrs. Fannie
Clayton, H. G. VanWagenen, Miss
Nellie Foster, violin solo Miss Nettie
Booth, with piano Accomplishments
by Misses Matte Mack, Carrie Bloom
Julia Moore were well received,
and were indeed meritorious per-
formances of a higher order. The
address of Brother Ansley was a
new departure from the stereotyped
plea for the antiquity of the insti-
tuition. He sought rather to place
it upon its merits by suggestive
hints of the purposes and practices,
as social institution, founded upon
human philosophy and benevo-
lent principles-educative and pro-
gressive, universal in its influence.
Dancing began at 10 a. M, and was
kept up until day light. The par
Elephants enjoying themselves hugely.
The music was furnished by the
Monroe Orchestra. The tables were
a marvel of elegance and abundance,
even to the fourth generation. The
floral decorations furnished by |
Mrs. D. G. Sunderland were things
of beauty and good taste,--a joy
continually at the feast. The fra
ternity of Smith Lodge has reason
to shake on the grandest success of
the anniversary festival 1888.

OBITUARY.

WILLIAM L. HENR1-
Entered into rest, at Mineral Point,
Wis, on the afternoon of July ID,
1888, William I. Henry, in the Goth
year of his age.
The subject of this notice was
born at st. Louis, Mo-, May 18th,
1928, and came to Mineral Point
with his father in 1884. After at
tending the schools of his locality
he finished his education and grad
uated with honors at Springfield,
the capital of Illinois. He made
two trips via Panama to California,
between the years 1849 and 1855.
In 1856 he married Mrs. Emma
Parmele, daughter of Rev. Stephen
McHugh, q clergyman of the Eng
fish church. She and seven child
rem, two by her former marriage sur
vive him.
Mr.. Henry has held many posi-
tons of trust. At one time he was
clerk of the United States court.
When the Mineral Point Railroad
company was organized he was ap-
pointed secretary, and to his ability,
as manifested in the discharge of
the duties of his office, was due in a
great measure the success of the
enterprise.
In 1861 he established the bank
ing house of William T. Henry,
which through all the trying times
of our financial history has main
tanned its character as "a safe and
sound institution" In this connec-
ton it may be added that he has
been frequently elected mayor, and
for years he has been an honored
treasurer aud vestryman of the
Episcopal church of this city. This
notice would be incomplete if moth
ing should be said of him as min
eralogist. The study of geology
was to him pastime. The cabi-
net of minerals, which he collected
from time to time is a strong evil
dence of his scientific genius. No
man in the state was his peer In
this respect, and his collection of
minerals is one of the best in the
United States.
The foregoing facts of the life just
closed, need but little comment. In
every position which he filled he
won the confidence Of the commu-
nifty, and if these facts say anything,
it is that more than an ordinary life
has ended;" while those who for
years have seen his industry and
energy, or who have been made
happy by his liberality or charity,
know his worthy &nd mourn his
loss.
AS a vestryman of the Episcopal
church he supported with 4 liberal
hand the church of his love and adj
option, and to this support, in a.
large measure, is due its success.
AS a man, his business and Off
cial positions won the confidence of
the people in his ability and homes
ty. As the head of the household,
the love of wife and children, reveal
the true man.
Rest after weary life of suffering
for over three years has come at
last, and the good works which he
has done will be remembered and
rewarded by Him, the Savior of the
