Henry, 83, died at 3:00 p.m., in his daughter's home. Death was due to pneumonia, from which he had suffered a week.
He was a son of Henry and Magdalene Dearbaugh. On Dec 31, 1861, in Auglaize County, he married Margaret Bush, who preceded him in death.
Surviving were three sons, Ferdinand and Albert, both Auglaize County, and Gilbert, Olson, CO; two daughters, Anna (Ed) Dagenhart and Lenora (Ed) Zeigenfelder, all Piqua; one brother, John, CA; nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Deceased were two brothers, Christian and George.
For three quarters of a century, Henry was a familiar figure in Wapakoneta. For 40 years he was employed as a wagon-maker by the G.C. Heller company and during this time became acquainted with nearly every man, woman and child in Wapakoneta. He is remembered as a pal to the older men and a firm friend to the younger generation.
At the age of five, he came to Wapakoneta with his parents. He attended the public schools of the county and learned his trade as a wagonmaker. He and his wife started housekeeping on what was known as "the old Dearbaugh place," opposite the old Catholic cemetery west of town. He became almost totally blind and was very deaf, yet he was still active in Wapakoneta affairs until stricken with pneumonia.
Graveside services were held with Rev. C.E. Schmidt officiating.
