Henry Louis Waterbury, aged 46 years and 16 days. Thus another of the early residents of this neighborhood has passed from earthly scenes to the realms of ever lasting peace—not borne down with the weight of years, but stricken in the prime of his manhood. For the past two years he suffered almost constantly from a complication of heart and lung trouble, and his condition was considered serious for nearly four weeks preceding the end. He bore the burden of suffering uncomplainingly and bravely, and it was only four months ago that he would consent to relinquish the active duties of a business life, which had been such a marked and admirable trait of character all through the years of his maturity. During the later days, after this life's allurements could hold no future hope, he learned to "look with patient eyes on death," seeing beyond the gates those scenes of eternal rest and peace in which earth's weary pilgrims can only find surcease. Surrounded by those near and dear to him and by the fruits-of honest, earnest, conscientious toil, he passed to the Great Beyond, honored and respected by all. H. L. Waterbury was born at Westport, Connecticut, April 21, 1856: In 1867, at the age of eleven years, came west with his parents, who were among the first to take a homestead in Union County, S.D., northwest of Akron. He was married in February, 1880, to Miss Jennie Harton, who is left to mourn a loss irreparable, as are also their three children, Harry, Lottie and Frankie; his aged mother, and his brothers, Geo. W., of Oregon; Alfred, of Miller, S.D., S.A., C.E., J.F., F.E. and Robert, of Akron, and numerous other relatives in this vicinity. His father passed away two years ago. In 1882 he came to Akron from the farm and entered upon a business life. He first engaged in the harness trade, then in the meat business, and later in the grocery business to which was subsequently added a dry goods department. In this he continued until his retirement on January 1,1902, with the exception of six months, about ten years ago, when he went west with a view of locating. In his business relations he was always upright, conscientious and obliging, and success naturally followed. In the loss of this esteemed friend and fellow-citizen the heart-throbs of this community beat in unison with those of the family in its sorrow and bereavement. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon, the cortege leaving the family residence at 2 o'clock and proceeding to the Baptist church, escorted by marching delegations from the local A. F. and A. M. and I. O. O. F. lodges, of which deceased was a member. Rev. A. C. Blackman delivered a most impressive sermon and administered words of tender consolation to those in mourning. Masonic brethren acted as pall-bearers and the beautiful ritualistic work of that order was pronounced at the grave. There was a very large attendance at the funeral.
