Randolph, May IL, 1891
Henry NJ. Damon, aged "a years died
May LIST of abscess of the liver. This death
has brought sadness not only to hearts of
the home circle but to the entire commu-
nifty and to all societies in which he NOV
ed. He was young man of promise. He
was good scholar and was graduate of
Randolph Normal School and entered the
University of VT. and pursued his studies
there one year, when on account of his
health and desire to enter upon agricul-
tural pursuits he left college and engaged
in farming. While in Burlington he ex ?
perienced religion and united with the
Cong church there. On returning home
he united with the Methodist church here
and at once became an active member. AT
the time of his death he was Supt. OF the
Sabbath School and President OF the Ep-
worth League. He was an earn est, devot-
ed Christian worker, always ready to
give of his substance as well as
his ability to Christian service. He
united with the Masonic fraternity a little
more than a year ago and soon came to be
known and respected there. He was a
valuable member OF the community.
Whatever seemed for its good he was
ready and anxious to encourage and did
so with his means, energy and favor. But
however much he was to the church, the
community and to society, he was more
to the home circle. A father and mother
mourn the loss OF a kind, faithful and
dutiful son, sister mourns loving and
affectionate brother, the church and COM
munity Christian young man. Henry
had been feeling unwell for some time but
he did not take his bed till about four
weeks ago. He called his physician who
soon discovered that he had complicated
disease OF the liver. Other physicians
were called and all decided that the dis
ease was beyond human power to cure.
Neither the skill OF the physicians nor the
devoted and untiring care OF the friends
could avail. He grew weaker each day
but had courage and belief that he might
recover, yet he was willing to die II il was
the Lords will. For his father, mother
sister, invalid brother and the other very
dear friend with whom he had hoped end
expected to be united for life, he would
have been glad to have lived but when he
was conscious that his Master called and
that he must soon leave them, he called
them one by one TO his bedside, said his
last tender, comforting and sacred words,
kissed them goodbye and fell asleep rs
the sun was nearing the western horizon.
ellis sun went down while it was yet
day. His funeral was at the Methodist
church Sunday afternoon. The Rev. Mr..
Evans made appropriate remarks in refer
ence to the deceased and excellent music
was feelingly rendered by the church
choir. The house was filed with sincere
mourners and friends and during some OF
the remarks OF the pastor, the moistened
eyes evinced the deep sorrow OF the whole
Well was Ii said that "no
one ever said word against Henry NJ.
Damon At his request he was buried
by the Masons with their beautiful and
impressive ceremony, and as they stood
around the grave OF their departed broth
er, clad in white gloves and aprons, with
bowed heads and moistened eyes they
evinced the sincerity OF their affection for
him and their deep sorrow occasioned by
his untimely death. The family and inn
mediate relatives and friends have the
sincere sympathy OF the Masonic fraterni-
~ and the entire community.
