Death of Mrs. Thos. Henry

Waterford people mourn the death of Mrs. Thos. Henry, one of our most estimable citizens. Mrs. Henry has been feeble for a year. She was as well as usual Monday night before going to bed. In the morning when Mrs. Doughty went up to assist her to dress she found her unconscious. The doctor stated that she had a stroke. She never rallied, but gradually grew worse and about five o'clock slept peacefully away.

Mrs. Henry was a woman of most exemplary Christian character and beloved by everybody. She came to Waterford when about 20 years of age and has lived here 56 years.

Five children are left to mourn their loss. They are James and Mrs. Geo. Doughty of Waterford, Judson of Toronto, Lewis and Duff of Chicago.
