Advocate
John E. Henry, died March 5, 1874, at the residence of his brother-in-law, C.W. 
Floyd, north of Greenville, aged 44 years. Although comparativly young he had 
passed through an eventful life.  In the Texas Lesislature while the secession 
bill was pending, he opposed it with an honest devotion to the laws of the 
county and prophetically assured that the thoughtless assembly that they would 
never see the day when their independence would be acknowledged.  After that 
body was dissolved unswerving devotion to the government.  He edited the Union 
Paper with such zeal as finally compelled him to leave that state.  Seperated 
from wife and children but that fatal act of the legislature, here in Bond 
county adjacent counties, he spent the best efforts of his life in editing 
papers and promulgating sentiments in favor of the union.  As a Lawyer he 
commended the respect of his associates.  As a husband and father, kind, 
affectinate and obliging, loved, respected and admire by kindred.
