Greenville Man Found Dead By Son & Daughter
__________

Despondency over failing health is said to have motivated the suicide of 
Harry (Hal) Henning, 77, who hanged himself early Sunday afternoon in 
his bedroom in a rooming house at 112 West Fifth St. where he had 
resided for the past two years. He had been in ill health for several 
months.
        At about 2:30 p.m. yesterday, Henning is said to have called a son, 
Joseph, this city, stating that"he wanted to see him in about a half hour." 
When the son and a sister, Mrs. Cledis Searl, arrived at the rooming 
house at 2:50 p.m. they found their father dead. Mrs. Searl who lives in 
Dayton, had been spending the week-end here.
        The deceased, a Darke county native, had formerly worked for 
more than fifthteen years for the Cincinnati Northern Railroad. He was a 
member of both the Red Men Lodges and of St. Paul's Evangelical and 
Reformed church.
        Besides the son and daughter, he leaves two sisters, Mrs. Charles 
Ebbeling of Greenville, and Mrs. George Rue, of Ansonia.
        The body has been removed to the Miller funeral home where 
friends may call after one p.m. Tuesday. Services will be held there at two 
p.m. Wednesday with the Rev. Edgar V. Louchs officiating. Burial will be in 
New Madison. The Red Men's lodge will conduct the services.
