From Story County Watchman August 16, 1889

Story City.

The great reaper of death again cast a shadow over the people of this vicinity and puts in its work by robbing the community of one of its most estimable women. Mrs. T. T. Henryson, who has so painfully suffered for these many years past. Passed from this world Tuesday last at about 1 o'clock over the dark blue waters to a land of happiness, and where she shall suffer no more. She leaves a husband, father and mother, brother and sisters and a large circle of friends who are now left behind to mourn for their departed one. She was a women of the most high type, and and was held in the highest respect and esteemed by all who knew her. The funeral took place Wednesday at the Norwegian Lutheran Church at 4 o'clock. The remains was followed by a large concourse of sympathizing friends and relatives to her final resting place in Story City Cemetery. Peace to her ashes, as the quietly lay in the laps of our mother earth.
