Henry passed to the spirit world. Saturday afternoon Rev. Weed of the Episcopal church conducted the services at the residence on Olive and Fifteenth streets, after which, the body was taken in charge by the Masons, the Knights Templar forming the escort to the cemetery. In the procession were the Columbus Fire Department, Baker Post G.A.R., and the Masonic orders of the city, and friends and citizens in carriages. At the grave, the beautiful and impressive ceremonial of the Masons was pronounced by the Master of Lebanon Lodge No. 58, C.J. Garlow. Mr. Henry was born in Schuyler county, New York, May 26, 1842; his parents moved to Dane county, Wisconsin, where they lived until 1867. He enlisted, August, 1861, in Company B, Eleventh Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and participated in many engagements. In February '64 he re-enlisted for three years in the same regiment, and served until September 1864, when he was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Forty-Second Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, but was soon promoted to First Lieutenant, serving till June 1865, when he was mustered out. He was married in Fitchburg, Dane county, Wisconsin, February 22, 1870, to Miss Mary L. Adams, who was born in the latter town. Besides his widow, he leaves three children, Walter B., Mary and Robert. Herbert died several years ago. The stricken family have heartfelt sympathy of friends in their affliction. His struggle for health was as heroic as ever mortal made. For most of the foregoing facts The Journal is indebted to the History of Nebraska. In 1867 Mr. Henry came to Omaha and was engaged in the implement business. In 1872 to Columbus, where he has since resided, engaged first in the grocery business and sale of implements, and having large interests in stock. He has been county commissioner, mayor of the city, member of the board of education, president of the state board of agriculture, vice-president of the Columbus State bank, and has held all the high offices in the Masonic orders of the city, and two years ago was elected Grand High Priest for the state of Nebraska of the Royal Arch Masons. It is too early to write an adquate history of Mr. Henry's career, which we hope some of his intimate associates will soon undertake. He had been a soldier, a teacher, a merchant, a stockman, a thorough-going business man always; an ardent Mason during his manhood years; a man of decided views, clear-cut in his thinking; he admired men of strength, decision and staying qualities. He had no patience with sham or make-believe, and when he gave you his confidence, there was no reserve about it, and no misgivings. Sometimes, you might well believe that you were under trial for his good opinion, but when you deserved it, you were sure to get it, whether you had sided with him, or opposed him; oftimes, we dare say, because you opposed him. Mr. Henry, in every sitation, was a man to be relied upon.
