Henry N. Fanning Dies at Home in Oak Cliff
Henry N. Fanning, 60 years old, former policeman and at one time Constable for Dallas precinct, died yesterday at the family home 404 Maraslis Avenue. Funeral services are to be held at the home this afternoon at 4 o'clock and burial will follow in Oakland Cemetery.
Mr. Fanning had lived in Dallas forty years, coming here from Winchester, Tenn. where he was born twenty years earlier. He attended the public schools of Tennessee and later went to an academy at Winchester. He remained in school there until he came to Texas in 1877.
He came to Dallas shortly after reaching the State and worked here for several years. He was a clerk in a grocery and later worked for an oil company. In 1880 he was married to Miss Emma E. White of Dallas. He then returned to his home in Tennessee but did not remain there. When he returned to Dallas, he entered the lumber business and later was in the grain business and in Wichita Falls.
In 1894, after being in the wholesale grain business for a number of years, he went to the Dallas police force and remained there for several years. It was in 1902 that he was a successful candidate for Constable and he took office in November of that year.
Since leaving office, he had been engaged as special officer for a number of firms in Dallas.
He was a member of the Woodmen of the World, the Maccabees and the Odd Fellows. He is survived by his wife, and a daughter, Miss Lera.
