The El Dorado Times, January 13, 1931
WILLIAM HENRY DIES IN KANSAS CITY LAST NIGHT

John William Henry, formerly of El Dorado, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. N. 
Henry of Leon, died at 7:30 o'clock last night in St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas 
City, Mo., where he had been a patient since December 8. His illness began 
nearly two years ago and since that time he had undergone five operations, but 
was able, during most of the time, to give personal attention to the Western 
Typesetting Company of Kansas City of which he was owner-manager. Kansas City 
had been his home for nearly twenty years and he was a member of the 
Consistory, Shrine and Arrat Shrine Band in that city. He lived there at 
Valentine-on-Broadway, 3724 Broadway. His mother, and his sister, Mrs. William 
Bush, of Wichita, were summoned to his bedside about ten days ago and had been 
there since.

The Shrine will have charge of a funeral service to be held in Kansas City, 
Mo., tomorrow afternoon.

On Thursday afternoon a funeral service will be held in El Dorado, the deatils 
of which will be announced tomorrow. Interment will be made here in West 
Cemetery. The Hammer Funeral Home will be in charge.

Mr. Henry began his career in the mechanical department of the former El Dorado 
Daily Republican. He was for years a member of the El Dorado band. His father 
was a member of El Dorado City Council. Shortly after he became a linotype 
operator, Mr. Henry engaged in business independently in Kansas City. Under his 
astute direction his typesetting plant increased in volume of business until it 
became one of the leading enterprises in that city and was housed in a brick 
building which Mr. Henry had erected for its occupancy.

Mr. Henry visited his parents, brothers and sister at holiday times each year 
and last Thanksgiving Day flew from Kansas City to Wichita where the family 
reunion was at the Bush home. Although a number here had known of his illess, 
his untimely death is a shock to many of his friends. He was forty-eight years 
old. In addition to his parents, Mr. Henry is survived by his brothers, Roy 
Henry of El Dorado, Ralph Henry of Leon and sister, Mrs. Treva Henry Bush of 
Wichita.
