In Memoriam
Samuel Columbus Henry was born in McMinn County, Tennessee, May 11 1840. He moved to Arkansas in 1861, and enlisted in an Arkansas regiment of confederate Volunteers during the Civil War. He later moved to Metropolis, Ill,. Where he was married to Miss Martha I. Bond, who still survives him. He was converted in 1873 and united with the Baptist church. Of which denomination he remained a faithful and consistent member throughout life. He moved from Illinois to Texas, where the family lived for many years, then came to Indian Territory in 1890 and settled near Dibble. After a short residence there the family moved to what is now Caddo County in 1892, living near the head of Buggy creek. It was at this place that they lost all their household goods in a fire, which destroyed their house. Mr. And Mrs. Henry and their young son, C.A. moved to Minco five years ago, where they have since resided.
Mr. Henry passed away on March 14, 1913, at the age of 72 years and 10 months, of pneumonia. The funeral was conducted by Rev. E. Wilson at the Baptist church in this city. Monday March 17, and the remains conveyed to Hazel Dell cemetery for interment. All his living children were present at the funeral as follows; Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Bevis, J.T., W.S. and C.A. Henry. Two granddaughters, Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Hattendorff, and Mr. Bevis, a son in law, were also present.
Mrs. Henry was very low with pneumonia at the time of her husband's death and was not told of the occurrence for two or three days, it being feared she could not stand the shock. She is better at this time but is far from being out of danger.
S.C. Henry was one of those men with whom all were glad to be acquainted. Though poor in this world goods, he had laid up a store of riches in heaven by his loyalty to his church and his fellow men. So far as The Minstrel knows, his honesty and integrity were above reproach and he lived in accordance with his religious teaching to the best of his understanding.
