MRS. J. M. HENRY

  At 9.30 last evening, after a protracted illness from a complication 
of diseases, Margaret, wife of J. M. Henry, died at her home, 713 Fifth 
avenue, Juniata.  Mrs. Henry was a daughter of Frederick and Elizabeth 
Foutz, both deceased, and was born at Yellow Springs, Catherine 
township, September 12, 1867.  There she grew to womanhood and later 
came to Altoona.  About twenty years ago she became the wife of J. M. 
Henry, who survives, with one daughter, Margaret, at home.  Five 
brothers also survive: Samuel T. Foutz, of Asbury; J. F. and E. A., of 
Altoona; A. B. and Mr. R., of Bellwood.  In her girlhood Mrs. Henry was 
a Lutheran, but after coming to Altoona joined the United Presbyterian 
church, of which she was an active member at the time of her death.  
She was also one of the leading workers in the Ladies' auxiliary to the 
P.R.R. Y.M.C.A. in Juniata and found time to be of service in many ways 
in the good causes that are always needing live workers.  She and her 
husband have been substantial citizens ever since their first coming to 
the borough and she will be sorely missed, not only in her home, but 
also in the community.  The funeral service will be held at her late 
home, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock.  Interment in Rose Hill 
cemetery.
