PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS MANY MOURN FOR MISS M. E. HENRY Prominent in Mission Work in Marysville College Where Her Interests Centered Some times when it is announced that a missioinary speaker will have charge of a Church meeting, people take the opportunity to remain quiet ly at home for fear of being bored. For several years past when Miss Mar garet Elizabeth Henry, of Tennessee, came to the city it was a question of getting some place large enough to hold the audience sure to gather to greet her, and hear of the wonderful work of the Maryville school, in Ten nessee, in which she was so much in terested. Now ♦he news comes that Miss | Henry has been removed from the ranks of workers, called to the everlasting rest. She passed quietly away in a hospital at Knoxville, never recovering after a serious operation. D. A. R. chapters of numerous States, organizations of men, women and children, secular and religious bodies and a host of individuals who ever heard her with delight and who were glad to aid her in her work, mourn her passing. Miss Henry was superintendent of scholarships for the Maryville college, that wonderful place where the Moun taineers may be educated at so small cost, and during her field work she secured in cash $122,692 beside num erous pledges for the college. There are three separate scholarships as memorials to Miss Henry from admir ing friends. From an old Tennessee family of the Mountaineers, a rela tive of the celebrated Patrick Henry, of Colonial days, she was educated at Maryville and althougn in after years she received many flattering offers to associate herself with other institu tions, with large salary, she refused ■ to leave fter first love. Miss Henry last came to Harrisburg as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. William i Elder Bailey, who entertained her in the old Bailey residence at Chestnut and Front streeets, inviting guests to meet her socially and hear the ro mantic story she had to tell. Several Harrisburg scholarships are held in Maryville college by individuals and missionary bands.
