MRS. W. P. S. HENRY DEAD
A FORMER COLUMBIAN EXPIRES AT EVERETT, BEDFORD COUNTY.

Columbia Correspondence.
  Telegraph advices this morning note the sudden death of Mrs. W. P. S. 
Henry, at 3 o'clock this morning, at her late residence in Everett, 
Bedford county, Pa., in the 27th year of her age.  The funeral will 
take place on Sunday at 1 P.M., at Everett.  The news was a shock to 
the wide circle of friends of deceased.  She was a daughter of Mr. John 
Fendrich, of this place, and was in her life in Columbia one of the 
most favorably known.  As a young girl she was the life of her 
associates.  As a more mature woman those who were admitted to her 
confidence and friendship were her devoted admirers.  As a wife, she 
nobly fulfilled all the requirements of that higher life, and to know 
her was only to love and admire her.  A husband and two lovely children 
survive.  The figure of "gloom" pervading a community, so often only a 
figure, had a literal significance on receipt of the news of Mrs. 
Henry's death, and the hearts of our people beat quicker this morning 
in sympathy for the bereaved, as they recall the admirable qualities 
and loveliness of their former friend and associate thus suddenly 
stricken in death.
