Henthorn, Louisa B. Henthorn

Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, November 29, 1906

Louisa B. Henthorn, wife of William Henthorn, died at her home in this village Friday afternoon, October 19, aged 61 years, 5 months and 17 days. Louisa was born May 2nd , 1845, in Belmont county, Ohio; and was married to William Henthorn, February 26, 1863.

The following year they moved to Sylvan, Wisconsin, and moved to Viola in 1901. To this union nine children were born, six sons and three daughters, seven are living, two, a boy and a girl having died when quite small. Those living are C. A. Henthorn of Milwaukee, Mrs. A. Spence of Sylvan, Olin Henthorn of Lone Rock; Ernest, Harley, Lester and Bessie of Viola.

The deceased joined the Christian church nearly forty years ago and later the United Brethern church of Sylvan, of which she was a member at the time of her death.

Besides a husband and seven children to mourn her death, are two sisters, Mrs. Kate Harman of Antioch, Ohio and Mrs. Francis Harman of Graysville, Ohio.

The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Sylvan church and were conducted by Rev. Hatch, and the good mother laid to rest in the Sylvan cemetery. The church which is a large one, was packed and many were there who could not gain admission, so great was the esteem of her old neighbors for her.

Mrs. Henthorn had been in poor health for several years and the past few months has slowly failed and at the last paresis caused her death.

A kind loving wife and mother has gone to her long rest. The sympathy of all people go out to the bereaved family.
