The funeral of Mrs. James K. Henshey took place Thursday morning from
her late residence on Lincoln avenue.  The body was taken on Johnstown
accommodation to Newport and from thence to Marklesburg for burial.
The subject of the above notice was born in Perry county, married
March 23, 1881, and was, at the time of her death, aged 30 years.  By
her removal a husband is bereft of an affectionate wife and companion,
and two children, the youngest being but 9 months old, to grow to
womanhood without the blessed influence of a kind and loving mother.
She leaves, beside these, to mourn their loss a father, mother, three
brothers and two sisters.  Deceased was a consistent member of the
United Brethren church from childhood and bore her suffering with
Christian fortitude, never complaining, never doubting.  She was
highly respected and loved by all who knew her and the sympathy of a
large circle of friends is extended to the family in this their sad
bereavement; but "their loss is her gain."
