MISS BESSIE HENRY PASSES OVER THE DARK RIVER

The sad news was received yesterday from La Grande that Miss Bessie Henry,
daughter of County Judge J. C. Henry and Mrs. Henry, died at 2 o'clock p.m.
yesterday, October 30, 1906. The deceased was the only child, was 32 years of
age and had been a sufferer four years from tuberculosis, which finally
carried her off.

Miss Henry was a frequent visitor in Baker City and had many warm friends here
as well as in La Grande. Judge Henry and Mrs. Henry are pioneers of Union
county and have lived in La Grande some 25 years. Just two years ago Mrs.
Henry and Miss Bessie spent a number of months in Arizona, in the hopes that
the sunshine and dry climate there would conquor the dread disease in the
daughter. Every effort, however, at home and abroad failed to overcome the
disease. Miss Henry was cheerful always, the same beautiful Christian and
lovely character to the end. A number of Baker friends will attend the funeral
services in La Grande which will be announced later.
