"Uncle Henry" will be greatly missed.
He was converted and united with the Baptist church at the age of 21 and has lived a constant christian life always being bound at the post of duty in the church and often exhorting the young people with tears to come to Jesus and be saved.

Funeral services were conducted at the pleasant [sic] Valley Baptist vchurcy by Rev. N. B. Sill after which the remains were laid to rest in the Henton cemetery to await the morning of the resurrection.
