Obituary
Died, at her residence in Bedford at 2:40 o’clock a. m., Tuesday, September 3, 1901, Mrs. A. [lexander] H. [ay] Henry Sr., aged 61 years, 4 months and 5 days. Funeral services were held at the residence in Bedford at 2 o’clock p. m., Thursday, September 5, conducted by Rev. A. H. Collins. A profusion of beautiful flowers were contributed by loving friends as a tribute of esteem in which the deceased was held. A large number of friends followed the remains to their last resting place in Fairview cemetery. The pallbearers were J. H. Fitch, Sidney Putnam, Geo. Dugan, J. S. Boyd, Jerry Hough, Wash. Hall.
Isabella Sheriffs was born in Banff, Scotland, upon the 28th day of July 1840, and was united in marriage to Alexander H. [ay] Henry in Glasgow, Scotland in 1863. The issue of this union has been five daughters and four sons, all of whom are alive and present except Eliza, the eldest daughter, who died in infancy and was buried in the city of Glasgow, Scotland. Mrs. Henry was brought up under the very best of religious influences and trained by a mother who was distinguished for her high Christian character, and from her early girlhood she followed in the footsteps of her revered mother. Uniting with the church at an early age she took an active part in church work.
Mrs. Henry, with her husband, united with the Baptist church in Afton this state in 1872, remaining as members of that denomination for several years, but has been identified with the Methodist Episcopal church since 1877. Of Mrs. Henry’s life and character it may be truly said that she was a woman having strong convictions and strong will which was ever exercised in the cause of righteousness, and in those virtues which go to make up a well rounded but Christian character. Her nature was loving and kind and wherever her lot has been cast to dwell she never failed to make many friends who loved and esteemed her for her sterling worth as a wife and mother.
She has been the light of her husband’s life and her children mourn her as they only can, who realize in her loss the loss of their best friend on earth. She was well prepared to die and gave up her life with the fullest trust in her Savior, because she knew in whom she had believed, and that He was able to keep that which she had committed to His trust against that day.
