W. S. Henninger Dies; Was In Business Here 52 Years
In the death of W. S. (Scott) Henninger at the Community Hospital at Beloit early Tuesday morning, Jewell mourns the passing of a man who for many years was an integral part of the community; a man known for his industry, his integrity, and all the qualities which go to make a good citizen.
Mr. Henninger has been in failing health for a number of years. Several times he had been a patient at the S.B.A. hospital in Topeka. His illness was of a painful nature, but he bore his suffering through many months with a patient fortitude that was an inspiration to those about him. Last June he entered the hospital at Beloit, and there he spent his last days.
Mr. Henninger's full name was Winfield Scott Henninger. His parents were John S. and Esther Henninger. He was born March 8, 1865, on a farm near Loganton, Pa.
W.S. Henninger and Miss Katie Emmert were united in marriage at the Evangelical parsonage at Jewell on Oct. 29, 1892. The Rev. M.C. Platz was the minister who united them in marriage. In 1942, Mr. and Mrs. Henninger observed their golden wedding anniversary at their home in Jewell. One hundred and fifty people called on them that day -- to make it one of the memorable occasions of their long wedded life.
Sons and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Henninger are: C. M. Henninger, of Covina, Calif.; Berg Henninger, of Beloit, Kans; Mrs. H.C. Hofer, of Skidmore, Mo.; and Miss Betty Henninger of Topeka. These with their mother and a number of grandchildren survive.
The J.S. Henninger family came to Kansas in December, 1877. They came as far as Clay Center by railroad; and by team the remainder of the way, arriving in Jewell on December 15. In the spring the family built a sod house two miles south and one mile east of Foster school. Before long J.S. Henninger opened a gunsmith shop in Jewell. Later he expanded the business to do general blacksmithing.
Scott Henninger started in the gunsmith trade in his father's shop, at the age of eight. He made his first gun when he was eleven. It, with some other guns and gunsmith tools, is in the museum at the University of Kansas. Mr. Henninger worked for awhile on the section of the railroad and was appointed railroad blacksmith. In May 1886, he went into the blacksmith shop of his father as a partner in the business. Later he was joined by Tom Henninger, another son of J.S. Henninger, and the father retired. Upon the death of his brother Tom, Scott Henninger bought full ownership of the business and continued in that capacity until his retirement in 1938.
Thus Scott Henninger was a business man in Jewell for 52 years. He not only built a commodious shop, but a modern home. Hundreds of people looked to Mr. Henninger to do their blacksmith work year after years, and his place of business was always an asset to the town, and his work was universally satisfactory to his patrons.
Mr. Henninger was on of a family of ten children, all of whom are now dead. He was a member and official of the Evangelical church in Jewell for many years and was a teacher of a class in Sunday school for a long period. He put a high value on the spiritual matters and as a young man studied for the ministry, although he did not make this his life work.
He was a member of the S.B.A. lodge and the Odd Fellows.
Funeral services will be held at the Evangelical church in Jewell Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with the Rev. E. H. Dahm in charge. The body will lie in state at the church from 12:00 to 2:30 o'clock. Burial will be in the Wallace Cemeteryantion, Clinton, Pennsylvania
