Funeral services were held Tuesday, Sept. 2 for Mrs. M. E. Henri of this city, whose death occurred Tuesday, August 26, by drowning. She disappeared from her home on that date and was traced to the river where her tracks were discovered leading to the water's edge. The body was recovered at a point near Council Bluffs, on Monday, Sept. 1, and her daughter, Mrs. E. V. Capps of this city was immediately notified. Arrangements were made to bring the body to Blair and preparations for burial followed.
Margaret Ella Henri was born at Peru, Indiana, Oct. 25, 1852 and was the daughter of the late B. C. Bond, of this city. She was reared in Monticello, Ill., and taught school for five years.
In 1875, she was married to Dr. J. M. Henri, a graduate of a medical school in Chicago. Two children were born to this union, Mrs. E. V. Capp of the city with whom Mrs. Henri made her home and an infant son who lived but a few weeks. For a number of years Mrs. Henri cared for her aged father and they both made their home with Mr. and Mrs. Capps for some time.
Mrs. Henri as a very intelligent and well-read woman. Her friends delighted to visit with her because of her broad knowledge of things in general. She was a valued member of the Monday Afternoon Club, a study club, of this city where she will be sadly missed.
Funeral services were held at the Capps home and at the Blair Cemetery, where the body was laid to rest.
The sympathy of the community goes out to the daughter, Mrs. E. V. Capps, who has guarded and cared for her mother for years. The shock was almost more than human endurance could stand.
