Mrs. Lena Hornbaker.

Lena Glenn Henry was born in Iowa October 15, 1885, and died in Phoenix, Arizona, January 31, 1911, aged 25 years, 3 months, and 16 days. The cause of her death was pneumonia of which she had been ill but a short time. She was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M.A. Henry.

For six years she lived in Bonaparte, her father then being the Rock Island agent here, and on Christmas dy of 1906 she married Mr. C.M. Hornbaker. About January 1, 1901, they moved to Tucson, Arizona, and a few months afterward to Phoenix, Arizona, where they have since resided. To them was born one child, a daughter, Gertrude Helen, who is now about 14 months old.

The sympathy of many friends in Bonaparte and vicinity is extended to the Hornbaker and Henry families is their sudden bereavement.

Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church in Bonaparte Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Taylor officiating, and the remains were interred in the Thompson cemetery.
