SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. E. E. Henry Stricken with Paralysis Sunday and Dies Yesterday Morning.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Henry will with extreme regret learn of the unexpected death of Mrs. Henry which took place at 6 o'clock yesterday morning at the family residence No. 209, North Explanade. Her death was due to the forming of a blood clot at the left side of the base of the brain causing paralysis of the right side. She retired as usual Saturday night and Mr. Henry arose Sunday morning; he left her in bed apparently healthy as usual. He went down stairs. While he was there, Mrs. Henry arose Sunday morning and began dressing, while thus engaged the stroke came and she fell senseless to the floor, where Mr. Henry found her upon his return to the bed-room. Mr. Henry laid her on the bed and promptly summoned medical assistance but the efforts of the most skillful physicians in the city were powerless. Mrs. Henry remained unconscious until yesterday morning when she died at the hour stated. Miss Harriet E. Mill was born in Havana, Schuyler county, New York, November 15th, 1833 and consequently was within a few weeks of 59 years of age. She was united in marriage with Mr. E. E. Henry at the home of her father and mother, in Havana. She was an aunt of F. E. Mills, Captain (retired) U. S. Army. Mr. and Mrs. Henry settled in Leavenworth a little more than 25 years ago and built around their comfortable home a circle of friends who will deeply sympathize with Mr. Henry, in the greatest loss in his life. She was his advisor, and his faith in her judgment was unbounded. Mrs. Henry was a woman of kind disposition, a good neighbor, and led an unblemished and pure life. The Art League yesterday passed the following resolutions.

The funeral services over the body of the late Mrs. E. E. Henry, which took place at the family residence at No. 213 North Esplanade, at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, were attended by very many of the friends of the deceased. Rev. S. B.

After the service the body remained at the house until time to be removed to the depot by J. B. Davis & Co., undertakers. At 8 o'clock accompanied by none but the grief stricken husband, the body, in a traveling case, was placed on board the Missouri Pacific and started toward St. Louis. At the request of Mr. Henry there were no pall bearers to escort the body from the Henry residence, to the depot. Mr. Henry remained in the waiting room until the train arrived being accompanied only by Capt. and Mrs. F. H. Mills. To a TIMES reporter, he said everything had been arranged for promptness at the crematory at St. Louis. THat the body would be taken in charge there by undertakers at 1127 Olive street and conveyed as soon as possible to the place of cremation. He would take a berth in a sleeper and rest as much as possible on the way. He said he felt that he had courage enough to go through with the undertaking. Though his manner was firm, it could be seen that he feels his loss deeply. One of the instructions telegraphed to J. B. Davis & Co. from the St. Louis undertakers was to leave no metallic substances, such as buttons, hooks or eyes, etc. among the clothing of the deceased.
