Claiborn, Jackson County, Mississippi
HENRY, Eran MORGAN - {for The Democrat} Mrs. Eran Henry, wife
of T.A. Henry, died at her residence near Boonsboro, Ark. after a very painful
illness, Oct. 14, 1880. She was born and reared in Claiborn, Jackson
Co., Mississippi, removed with her widowed mother {Mrs. Morgan] and
family to Ozark, Franklin Co., Arkansas in December 1878, was united in
marriage to Mr. T.A. Henry Dec. 21, 1879. In less than ten months her
nuptial life with its pleasures and responsibilities, terminated, and, leaving
behind her an infant of some two weeks old, left us in tears. In the
death of this excellent lady this community has lost one of its brightest
ornaments, her husband the dearest jewel of his heart, and her family one
of the loveliest links on the chain of affection. Mrs. Henry was truly estimable
in all the qualities that adorn and beautify the life and character of
woman, and her death has produced a profound feeling of sadness throughout
the circle of her acquaintance. During the early part of her last illness
she gave her heart to God and found that peace which passeth knowledge
and with many earnest exhorting to husband and family to meet her on
the “shore of the Soul,” peacefully and quietly passed away. She was lovely
in life and beautiful in death. H.M. Welch. Boonsboro, Oct. 10,1880. Ozark
