Elida A. Cornwell Henry
Mrs. Elida A. Henry
"Grandma" Henry, one of the oldest settlers of the county and also one of the best known to any of the older residents, passed to her long looked for reward at 7:20 Friday morning. Her last serious illness was only two weeks, but for a number of years she has been an invalid, confined to her room a greater part of the time. Through it all she has shown a wonderfully cheerful disposition, and among her family and friends she will be sadly missed.
Elida A. Cornwell was born in Hoosic Falls, New York, October 17, 1820. She was married in December, 1839 to Andrew Henry at Hector, New York. After a short residence in Wisconsin they came to Columbus in 1873 and with the exception of five years passed in Omaha they made Columbus their permanent home. Mr. and Mrs. Henry had two children, Robert H. Henry who has resided in Columbus since the family came west and John Henry who to the time of his death several years ago was a prominent citizen of Fremont.
Andrew Henry in his first years in Columbus conducted a lumber yard and was also interested with his sons in extensive land and cattle ranches which they made very paying property. Mr. Henry died 15 years ago.
Mrs. Henry leaves two brothers, one residing in New York and one in Iowa.
Funeral services were held at the Henry residence Sunday at 12:15, Rev. Munro conducting the service, after which the remains were taken to Fremont for burial beside her husband.
