Obituary- York, Henry

Died, Sunday, February 16, 1902, at El Paso, Texas, Henry T. York, after a lingering illness. He was born September 8th, 1877, at Rossville, Kansas, where he has continuously resided with his parents until last fall when he was removed to Texas in the hope that a change of climate would prove beneficial to his failing health. He gradually grew weaker, however, until Sunday morning, February 16th, when the relatives in this city were summoned by that saddest of messages, “Come, Henry is dying.”

Henry was attended throughout his fatal illness by the dearest of earthly friends – mother. His last moments were comforted by a mother’s gentle, soothing, loving ministrations. His brother Charlie and sister Emma, joined the mother in the faraway land and at the mother’s request, Henry was laid to rest in the beautiful El Paso cemetery, there to await the resurrection morn.

Henry T. York graduated from the Kansas State Agricultural College, Manhattan, Kansas, in the Mechanical Engineering course, June 13, 1901. Later, he secured a position in a Manual Training school, at Ackley, Iowa, as assistant principal, where he taught Algebra and Geometry, Physics and Manual Training. His upright life and noble character won the love and respect of his pupils, associates and all with whom he came in contact. After a few months service in Ackley College he was forced to resign on account of failing health.

Great sympathy goes out to the parents, brother and sisters of this gentle, kind and much loved young man, and to the hundreds who were bound to him by the strongest ties of friendship. As for Henry, nothing more need be added. It is well with him.
