WOOLSEY, Henry B. - It seems that in some years there are more deaths occur among the older and more prominent citizens of a community than in others. Such a year has this been in the history of Benton county. Every little while have we been called upon to tell of the passing of some one of our oldest and most respected citizens and now it is our sad duty to chronicle the death of Henry B. Woolsey, one of the pioneers of Benton county, who died at his home two and one-half miles southeast of Bentonville last Friday evening at 8 o'clock, aged 71 years. Funeral services were held at home Saturday afternoon and interment followed in the Odd Fellows cemetery in Bentonville. Henry B. Woolsey was born in Hempstead county, Ark. in 1830. When but an infant his parents moved to Washington county where he lived until 1857 when he came to Benton county and in 1861 purchased the place on which he has since resided. In 1854 he and Miss Margaret Neale were united in marriage and to them were born six children, four of whom survived him. About 1866 he started in the nursery business in a small way and in a few years built up a big trade. He was honored and respected by all with whom he had dealings, being an upright and honest man. A large circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances mourn his loss and Benton county has lost another one of her foundation stones. But such events must need be. Death comes to all and his is a call which must be obeyed.
