SCHOOL KIDDIES MOURN
FOR DEAR JANITOR
Young Hearts Saddened by
Passing of Henry F. Weaver,
Who Is Buried Today I
The first real sorrow which many of the
pupils of tlio .Morris J. Hoffman School
have ever known will culminate this aft
ernoon, when Henry P. Weaver, the 71-year-old
Janitor of the Institution, is
burled In the Arlington Cemetery.
"Old Henry." as he was ufCcctloniitely
i ailed by the yoiinasters ot the sonool,
wns the oldest janitor In active servlc"
hi the city, anil for tho lust IS yeuis laid
been identified with the I luff man school
nnd uiiiicn at 53th and Vine strcetn, where
lie hud won a pliico in the hearts of many
hundreds of "young 'tins" three score or
more years younger than himself.
Koine time ago Henry disappeared from '
Ills post at the school. There were many ,
uiiNlous liiifiilrlei exchanged behind huge
"g'os'nplilos." Finally it become known I
that he was sick, and then that ho was !
very, very sick. Almost immediately
callers nt the Weaver residence nt J-iM
Warren street became numerous; they '
were Juvenlli! callers, who a.skcd .Mrs.
I.enorn A. Weaver all manner of ques
tions as to how soon "Mister Henry
would be back at school" and whether or
not there was anything that could be I
done for him. j
On FVIda." the blow came. It was an
nouiicol that "Old Henry" had dii-d from
a complication of discuses. None of the
chllilien knew cxaelly what It meant, hut
they realised that their friend would
never rttuin to school to smile his cheer
ful "good morning" to them. Today there
nre rumors of a modest houiUet of Unworn
which will accompany the body of Henry
I'. Weaver lo tlu cemetery, but "Ifsi n
M-cret nnd you mustn't say who .sent
them."
The funeral Is to bo held at '1 o'clock
this afternoon at tho Weaver resilience,
londiictwl by tlic ltev. Itobcrt 11. Craw

Church. It will w attended by relatives
