GEORGE |. I.HENRY.
Civil War Veteran, Mill overseer in DanieIson, Norwich and Other Places,

George I. Henry. veteran of the Civil war. in which he saw long and hard service, died at his home, corner of
 Main and Sterns street, Saturday night after an illness with pneumo- mia.
 MT. Henry. has been a resident of Eastern Connecticut for many years
 For long period heswas employed in the mill business and was overseer of weaving departments in mills in Dan ielson, Norwich and other Eastern Connecticut places and Massachusetts, his home state. He first went to work in a mill when he was boy in his early teens and during the time when operatives were required to work eX- sceedinglys long periods each day, in Guiding all of Saturday.
 At Clinton Mass, at the outbreak Of the Civil war, MT. Henry, already a member of the state troops. went south as member of the Fifteenth Ma asSachusetIs. His first fight was at Balls Bluff, reverse for his regi- ment, but afterwards. under its colors, he fought to victory with the com mand in some of the most famous bat ties of the whole war He saw gruel- ling service in various campaigns. Of the fight at Gettysburg where bullets thrice hit him within a period of half an hour; he loved to talk. His regi- ment went into the fight on the sec ond day of the battle and his eyes were among the thousands upon thousands tt1dI 1OOfAcd 1TOH the union Slde on Pickett's historic charge-never to for get the scene so long as life was to last. He fought at Fredericksburg and in many other historic encounters, and, until the last, notwithstanding the SufferingS he endured and looking back over the half century and more since the war ended, his patriotism always burned as brightly as it did the first day he donned the blue to fight for the only country that he regarded as worth living in. He was first and aI- ways a patriot, ever willing to make any sacrifice that duty or opportuni- ty might assign him. As late as last summer, when he was> still hale and hearty and exceptionally active for one of his years, nothing would have bet ter suited him than the chance to have gone to the Mexican border. but he realized that his years prohibited this. He would have been 75 in Feb ruary. But the spirit was there, as dominant as ever.
 For the past few years MT. Henry has been retired. For a time he. was in charge of a ward at the Soldiers home at Noroton. but gave up his place and returned here. He was a resi- dent of Norwich for several years. MT Henry was a Mason and an Odd Eel low and a member of McGregor post, G. A. R.
