The people of this
place were surprised to hear of the sudden death of Mr. Henry Misner [sic]
on Tuesday morning at the advanced age of 84 years.
Mr. Misener [sic] was
about as usual in the morning and attended to the horse in the barn.,
after which he ate a hearty breakfast. After breakfast he went to the
barn to water his horse and upon returning sat down in a chair and
talked to his little granddaughter.
Mrs. Misner [sic] was
working in the room at the time and in looking around noticed the Mr.
Misner [sic] was leaning back in his chair and upon looking a
second time discovered that something was wrong. She went to him and
found him dead. A doctor was summoned and he stated that the cause of
death was old age.
Mr. Misner [sic] was born
in Woodhouse, where he resided for a number of years. He then purchased
a farm near Cheapside, where he lived for 18 years, and then moved back
to Woodhouse. He came to Waterford about three years ago to live with
his son.
Mr. Misener's [sic]
father lived to be nearly 100 years old and his cousin, Uncle Adam
Misener [sic], is now 103 years old.
The funeral takes place tomorrow
at 12. Services will be held in Mt. Zion church, Renton.
