0819----1892 JM HENRY LETTER - IMMINENT DEATH OF MOTHER HATTIE WEST MILLGROVE OH
Original 1892 letter from John M. Henry of West Millgrove Ohio, to his Uncle
Orrin Henry in Columbus,
concerning the imminent death of John's mother Hattie Henry.
Mrs. Henry did indeed pass away shortly after this letter (see research below).
Those from Bowling Green Ohio, are most likely familiar with Captain Orrin
Henry,
the well known night watchman at the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus.
The letter is one page, in Vg condition and is transcribed below. No envelope
is included.
Newspaper research presented below is digital only, and cannot be included with
the letter.
We have acquired a handful of Orrin Henry letters which will be listed soon.
W. Mill Grove O.
May 2 - 1892
Uncle Orrin
Columbus O.
Dear Uncle.
Received your kind letter. It found Ma about the same, but
last night about 12 o'clock she began to grow worse and is now very
bad. She has become flighty and does not comprehend scarcely any thing.
Do not think she can possible(y) live until tomorrow morning.
Yours respectfully
J. M. Henry
