Last evening about 5:30 o'clock while sitting in Dr. WH Ristine's office, William Henry, brother of Dr. JF henry suddenly expired of heart failure. No one was present but the physician and Mrs. Henry. The Henry home is near Garfield, on a farm. They have 7 children, 3 girls and 4 boys. Mr. Henry and his wife came to town yesterday to do some shopping, along in the evening not feeling very well, they called at the Dr's office and the exertion of climbing the stairway so excited the action of his heart that he had hardly taken his seat before he sank into a state of unconsciousness. The remains were taken to Barnhill's undertaking rooms and last evening removed to his home. Mrs. Henry, of course, was greatly overcome at the sudden death of her husband. Mr. Henry was a well-to-do-farmer and his death caused universal regret in his vicinity - kbz

Wm Henry, aged 68 years, died very suddenly of heart disease last Friday afternoon at 4:15 o’clock in the office of Dr. W. H. Ristine. Mr. Henry had been afflicted with heart disease for some time, and on Thursday was sick most of the day. Friday he and his wife drove to town to consult Dr. Ristine and on the way in Mr. Henry was so ill that he was obliged to alight from the buggy for a season. On reaching Dr. Ristine’s office he was again taken sick and had to lie on the lounge for awhile. Dr. Ristine worked with him and he was soon able to sit up again. He seemed quite cheerful and was talking of his farm work when suddenly his head fell back and he was gone.

D. C. Barnhill took charge of the body which was removed to the family residence near Garfield that evening. The funeral occurred Sunday.

Mrs. Henry was with her husband at the time of his death and was utterly prostrated by the shock. She with four sons and three daughters survive to mourn the death of the kind father and loving husband. Mr. Henry was a brother of Dr. J. F. Henry, and was a man highly respected in the community -s
