Herman Merritt Henley was born in Globe, North Carolina, July 14, 1891, and died Hay, Wash., February 17, 1920, from pneumonia following an attack of influenza.
Herman Henley and Happy Vincent of Freewater, Oregon, were married December 1915. To this union, one child, Mary Verna, was born May 28, 1919.
Little Mary survived her father only four days, dying February 21, 1920, from pneumonia. At this time Mrs. Henley is very sick but expected to live.
Herman leaves to mourn his death, his wife, his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Henley, one sister Mrs. Bessie Curtis, and five brothers, Edgar, Louis (Luther), John, Cecil, and Dean, all of Hay, in addition to a number of relatives and friends.
Herman possessed those characteristics which made him well liked by all who knew him. He was a quiet, unassuming man who never spoke ill of another.
He was an excellent neighbor, always willing and ready to help when he saw a need. Everyone had a good word for Herman. One remark made the day of the funeral expresses the general attitude of his many friends, "He was too free-hearted for his own good."
Herman united with the Baptist church at Hay January 3, 1914, and had been one of its faithful supporters ever since.
C. V. Overman, pastor of the Hay church conducted Herman's funeral Wednesday, Feb. 18th, and baby Mary's funeral on Sunday, Feb. 22nd, holding a brief open-air service at the Hay cemetery. Herman will be missed from our community as well as from his home life.
