J.G. Henry Dead……J.G. Henry, an old and highly respected citizen of near Teresita, died at his home Tuesday of this week, after an illness of a few days.
Deceased was 81 years old, yet up to a short time ago was a familiar figure on the streets and looked exceptionally hale and hearty for one of his years.
He was born in Tennessee and came with his parents to Howell county from Coffey county, Tenn., in 1847, and lived for many years on a farm near Peace Valley, but moved to this community about 40 years ago. His wife, Mrs. Jane Moffitt Henry, whose death occurred five years ago, was the daughter of Rev. Moffitt, a prominent pioneer Methodist minister of Willow Springs.
Mr. Henry is survived by one sister, Mrs. O.N. Bennett, of West Plains; one brother, Tom H. Henry of Peace Valley; four sons, Bennett of California; Ray, of Idaho; Roy, of Cabool, Mo.; and Irby, at attorney for the Frisco in St. Louis; three daughters, Mrs. J.B. Davis, of Winona, Mo.; Mrs. John Rieck, of Alaska; and Mrs. Bessie Holden, who resides here.
Only two of his sons, Irby and Ray were present at his death and burial.
After appropriate services, the remains were interred in the Pleasant Grove cemetery, Wednesday.
A loving husband and father, a good neighbor and friend, who stood for what was highest and noblest in his community, has passed away, and the Standard joins the many friends and relatives, in their sympathy to those left to mourn his loss.
Children:
Clara Delia (1874-1896)
Ara Columbia "Lummie" (1876-1948)
Cynthia Adelaide "Addie" (1879-1962)
Gilbert Ray (1881-1953)
Alphus Bennett (1882-1938)
