Death

Henry Segrist was born on a farm near Holton, Kan., Feb. 17, 1874, and died at St. Francis hospital, Topeka, after two critical operations, Sept. 16, 1916, at the age of 42 yars, 6 months and 29 days. On April 16, 1902, he married to Miss Clara Hancuff, of near Holton. To this union were born two daughters, Elsie and Leila, and one son Lloyd. Besides these there are left to mourn his loss an aged mother, one brother, M. W., and one sister, Mrs. Betty Hancuff, and a host of relatives and friends. Henry grew to manhood on the homestead northeast of Holton, but after marriage moved northwest of Holton, where he lived until his last sickness. He joined the M. E. church in early manhood, being a regular attendant at Liberty M. E. church as long as his health permitted. His body was laid to rest in the Holton cemetery Sept. 17, 1916. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord."
