The Tribune joins the many friends of these good people in the deepest sympathy in this dark hour of their affliction. Eugene Henry bore up bravely for months under a terrible strain of a relentless illness. Everything that physicians could do was done for him, but to no avail, and this morning his tired little spirit wafted its flight heavenward.
