Thanksgiving Is Made Sad

The Day Brings Sorrow to Two Homes by Unfortunate Circumstances

Middleton Man Is Fatally Shot

There was a sad Thanksgiving at the home of Wm. Jolley, 1 ˝ miles north of town
when it was discovered that Mrs. Jolly’s father, David Henion, had committed
suicide in their unoccupied house.  He had used a 22 caliber rifle and the
bullet entered his head near the left eye, death being instantaneous.

Mr. Henion had two brothers who had died with cancer and he lived for a long
time in constant fear of meeting the same fate.  He kept imagining he saw signs
of the dread disease and this so preyed upon his mind that he was impelled to
take his life.

Daniel T. Henion was born in Pennsylvania, March 5, 1841.  The family remained
in that state until they came to Michigan locating at Hart.  In 1867 he was
married to Miss Mary Briggs of Kalamazoo.  To this union was born one daughter,
Mrs. Wm. Jolley, who was left motherless at the age of four years.  In 1877 he
was married to Miss Viola Smith.  To this union was born two daughters and two
sons as follows: Mrs. E. Martin of Jackson, Mich., Mrs. F.B. Miller of Fort
Wayne, Ind., twin boys, Clyde and Claude Henion, of Jackson, Mich.

The deceased was residing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jolley, at the time of
his death November 27, 1913, at the age of 72 years, 8 months and 2 days. 
Besides his five children he leaves nine grandchildren and three
great-grandchildren, two brothers and one sister to mourn his loss.

The funeral services were held Sunday morning, Rev. E.C. Clapp of Alma
officiating.  Interment was made in the East Plains cemetery.
