The starting point of the disease, which resulted in his death, was caused by accidentally putting out an eye with a pair of scissors. Blood poisoning set in, and finally terminated in consumption, from which he has suffered terribly. Henry was an amiable and estimable young man, attractive in both form and manner, which together with other good qualities, rarely seen in one so young, endeared him to a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who are now called to mourn his loss. The grief-stricken parent and relatives have the heart-felt sympathy of the community in their great loss, together with the promise and hope that in the future they may meet beyond the grave.
