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.
