Mason, Tex., Aug. 14 - On Tuesday the last sad rites were had over the remains of the late Rev. Ira B. Henry at the M. E. church, before the pulpit he has filled so faithfully for six years, Rev. T. F. Dimmitt presiding.
He leaves a wife, two grown daughters and a little girl to mourn his loss, joined by a host of friends.
He has been a resident of this place eleven years, during which time he has gained the love and respect of all our people.
He died in the christian's hope, and his faith seemed firm and un??llted.
In him the people have lost a true citizen, the church a noblle worker and his family a kind and loving husband and father.
