The Rustler-Herald, April 8, 1954
“DEATH TERMINATES WAYNE HENRY’S LIFE AT EARLY AGE OF 50.

Sudden death terminated the life of Philip Wayne Henry Thursday afternoon 
[April 1] while he was at this work for the Peter J. Oosting plywood firm in 
Glendale [Los Angeles county].  According to his employer, who notified Harold 
Henry, brother of the deceased, he and Mr. Henry had dined together the evening 
before and had lunched together that very day.  “Wayne did not complain of 
being ill and seemed to be in the best of health,” Oosting said.

Mr. Henry had not been seen since his lunch and his body was found about three 
that afternoon in the firm lumber yard.  Death is attributed to a heart attack.

The burial rite was conducted last Monday afternoon [April 5] in the Ree C. 
Grim Chapel with the Reverend Everett Epperly officiating.  Interment followed 
in the family plot in King City District Cemetery.

The deceased, known as Wayne, to the community and countryside, left King City 
in 1939 for San Luis Obispo.  An employee of Southern Pacific Milling Co. here, 
he worked in San Luis Obispo for the same firm.  He left there nine years ago 
for the south and was in the wholesale lumber business for himself at Van 
Nuys.  Later he sold the business and went to work with the Van Oosting firm.

According to his employer, Wayne neve[r] missed a day of work and was a bundle 
of restless energy, driving himself some days from 4 in the morning til seven 
at night.  Friends here remember that characteristic of his – to work at top 
speed and long hours, and always cheerful.

The deceased was g[r]aduated from the local schools and completed high school 
in 1922.  He was married to Adele Johnson.  On Feb. 5, 1936 he was appointed a 
member of the city council and in April ran for the office.  He resigned from 
the council three years later to go to San Luis Obispo.  When there he joined 
the Rotary Club, his only club affiliation.

Mr. Henry was born in King City Nov. 17, 1903 to Mr. and Mrs. George P. Henry.  
His mother passed away in 1941, his father in 1950.  His survivors are his 
brother, Harold Henry, sister Mrs. Phyllis Gleason, both of King City, and 
another sister, Mrs. Joseph Bastedo of Pacific Grove.

Pallbearers were Rollo Mansfield, Herb Pledger, Frank Morris, Les Hitchcock, 
Bert Kerns, James V. Pettitt.” END
