DR. HENRY McENERY.
The Deplored Death of a Prominent Young Physician.
Dr. Henry McEnery, a prominent youngphysician, a scion of a distinguished family, and a loyal-hearted gentleman, died yesterday afternoon, after a long and painful illness, which he bore with fortitude and resignation.
Dr. McEnery was born in Monroe, La., in December, 1865, and was the eldest son of the late Governor John McEnery and Mary Thompson and a nephew of Senator Samuel D. McEnery.
When his father removed to New Orleans, shortly after the war, young McEnery came here and received his early education in this city. Afterwards he attended Hanover College in Indiana, where he graduated, returning to New Orleans as a bachelor of arts. He then studied medicine at Tulane, graduating at the age of 22. He at once built up a practice and earned a fine reputation. He was appointed a member of the board of medical examiners of the pension bureau for the Louisiana district by President Cleveland in 1893. When the board organized he was elected its president, and retained that position until his death. At different periods he held responsible posts under the board of health, and his worth was always recognized.
About seven months ago he became ill. He was treated with the greatest skill, traveled to seek improvement and made a brave fight, but disease had firm hold upon him and gradually undermined his constitution. Some weeks ago he was compelled to take to bed, from which he never rose.
Dr. McEnery's mother, two sisters and three brothers survive him. Relatives and friends were devoted to him, for his character was lovable and his disposition gentle and generous. Hand and heart were always ready to aid and comfort and courante and constancy were noticeable attributes of such a spirit. Many will mourn his loss.
