INDIANA VIRGINIA KILBY HENRY 

DEATH YESTERDAY OF MRS. INDIANA V. HENRY  

Estimable Virginia Woman, of Broad Charity and Lovable Character. 

  The death of Mrs. Indiana Virginia Henry, relict of the late General E.M. 
Henry, at the Norfolk Protestant hospital after a lingering illness, was 
received yesterday with expressions of deep sorrow by her numerous friends in 
Norfolk, who knew her only to love. 

  The deceased was in the 72nd year of her age and was born in the town of 
Suffolk, Va. 

  Before marriage she was Miss Indiana Virginia Kilby.  She moved with her 
husband to Norfolk about thirty years ago, where she has since resided.  She 
was a woman of most lovable disposition and charming traits of character and 
was universally known and esteemed throughout the community for her kind 
ministrations to the needy. 

  She was one of the originators of that beautiful charity, the Norfolk 
Protestant hospital, in whose interests she gave the best energies of her 
life.  She was also an active member of the Daughters of the Confederacy and 
labored incessantly for the welfare of the survivors of the "Lost Cause." 

  The deceased is survived by three children - J. Hoge [sic; Hugh] Henry, of 
Baltimore, who arrived here last night; Edward M. Henry and Miss Annie Henry, 
both of Norfolk. 

  Her remains have been removed to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Beaman 
on Colonial avenue, Ghent, Mrs. Henry being a cousin of Mrs. Beaman. 

  The funeral will be solemnized from St Paul's Episcopal church, of which she 
was a communicant, at 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. 

  The services will be conducted by Rev. Dr. B.D. Tucker, assisted by Rev. Dr. 
Dunn, of Suffolk.  The interment will be in the family lot in Suffolk.
