EDWARD 8. HENRY.

His Unexpected Death in CRlIfOrnia--.a
Young Man Well Known In HInsdsle
and BrRttIebOro, son-In-Law of w.
w. Barney OF GuiIford.
The death of Edward S. Henry, which
occurred March II at Dixon, Calf, has
brought sorrow to many people in Brattle-
boro and adjoining towns Mr.. Henry had
been in failing health for more than two
years, but his condition did not seem to be
serious until after the death of his wife,
which took place last August. Mr.. Henry
and his father went to Highlands, N. c.,
last fall, hoping that change of climate
would bring improvement in the young
mans condition. After a stay of about
month there they went to Gainesville, Fla,
where they remained two months, going
from there, Feb. 10, to California. Mr..
Henry was very weak for some time, but
he was confined to his bed onlv one day.
The father came East with the body as
soon as possible, arriving last Saturday.
The funeral and burial were Sunday at
Chesterfield Factory, where Mr.. Henry's
wife, mother and brother are buried.
Mr.. Henry was the elder son of John
II. and Adelaide Scott Henry and was born
in Chesterfield, N. H., Oct. 10, 1864. The
family moved soon after to Hinsdale, where
j. II. Henry became a well known builder
and contractor. A younger son died there
in 1884 at the age of IL years. K. S. Hen
/ ry spent the larger part of his life up to
| 1891 in Hinsdae After attending the
High school he learned the printers trade.
| He was for some time local editor of the
| Valley Record in Hinsdale. He was mar
ried in Hinsdale, Feb. 81 1890, to Miss
| Alice Barney, a teacher in the public
| schools of that town, and the youngest
daughter of w. w. Barney of Guilford
Centre. Mr.. and Mrs. j. II. Henry and
Mr.. and Mrs. Z. S. Henry moved to Brat
tleboro in January, 1891. The father en-
gagged in a wood working business on Flat
street. The young man worked for time
| in The Phoenix office, and afterward was
associated with his father. Mr.. Henry
acted as travelling agent for The Phoenix
several seasons and became well known in
all of the towns of Windham county
through his connection with this paper.
The Henry family moved in November,
| 1892, to Brightwood, Mass. The mother,
Mrs. J. II. Henry, died there Feb. 10, 1895.
| The following September Mrs. K. S. Hen
ry sustained a stroke of paralysis which
made her helpless. In June, 1896, Mr.
| and Mrs. 4. S. Henry came to Vernon
|
Z. II. Akley. Mrs. Henry's death oc-
Cured suddenly August q last while on
visit to her fathers home in Guilford
Centre.
Mr.. Henry was not only young man Of
unquestioned uprightness in all his rela-
tions, but his life was one of correct hab-
its and of purity Of character. Strong af-
fections and fine sensibiites were among
his noticeable traits. Upon all who knew
him well he left an impression of sincerity,
of faithfuness, and steadfast integrity of
purpose. He had his full share of sorrow,
but he faced his troubles courageously and
uncomplainingly. The care and affection
which he showed for his invalid wife will
always be remembered feelingy by those
who knew Mr.. and Mrs. Henry intimately.
1t was under the strain of this care that
his health gave way, and after the death OF
his wife he seemed to lose his interest in
surrounding events, and his decline il
physical vigor was rapid. Old-time friend,
of the father in Hinsdale, in Chesterfield
and in Brattleboro feel sincere sympathy
for him in the loneliness and renewed
bereavement which the death of his sol
and the only remaining member of his fam
lily brings TO him.
