Death Of John Henning

        John Henning, a member of the Darke County 
Infirmary Board during the early stages of progressing 
the erection of the present home for the indigent, his term 
of office continuing 6 years, died at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. Henry Shockney, in Union City, Indiana, 
June 8, 1912, aged 84 yrs. and 28 days.
        In his younger days he was baptized by the Rev. 
Hinkle and united with the Lutheran Church.
He was a hard working staunch Democrat and 
prosperous in his early life but reverses overtook him. 
During the few weeks preceeding his death, he went to 
the infirmary thinking the comforts there would better 
enable him to battle with the inroad of old age. He was 
there only two weeks and need not have been there so 
far as necessity concerned.
        His wife preceded him to the grave 8 years. One 
son, 3 daughters, and two brothers survived him.
        Funeral services were held from Dininger 
Lutheran Church, west of Greenville, June 10, at 2 
o'clock, conducted by the Rev. W.K. Albright
interment near Greenville, Ohio.
