Henry died at the young age of 44 at the Rose Hill Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Maxton, North Carolina, near the residence of his younger brother J. Edward and his widowed mother, Luverna. He and several members of his family contracted Tuberculosis while living in Missouri and suffered for years with the disease; including his twin sisters not surviving infancy and twin boys of the related Everhart family.
Henry and Georgia's only son, "Otis", was sent to live in Texas with his maternal grandparents James and Mary Woods at the age 3, hoping to escape the disease.
Henry is buried in the Hileman family plot #77 Oak Grove Cemetery. His mother Lon Morrison Hileman, brother John Edward and sister in law, Mary Everhart Hileman are buried there as well. We have not located the grave of his father, John Jefferson Hileman. Jefferson died in Mill Creek, Union Co., IL and a family Bible states he is buried near his father in St. John's Cemetery, Dongola, IL
Date of burial: 29th December 1933
