| Headline | OLD TIME CITIZEN DIES SUDDENLY - HIT WITH APOPLEXY |
| Text | It is with great regret that we must record the death of another good man, citizen and neighbor. In every walk of life he was regarded as an honest man and was held in high estimation by all his acquaintances. He was a very quiet and unassuming man that believed in doing good toward everybody. He was a believer in the one true and living God and made his confessions. Henry Ledenham, residing 1 ½ miles north of Washburn, died suddenly Monday January 14, 1924 at his home. He had been walking around his farm and it was too much for him and he returned to his home and told his wife that he was all in and died in a short time at the age of 70 years in December. He came to Barry county from Texas many years ago and located on the farm where he died. He married a Miss Rowley, a daughter of the late Judge Rowley, who lived near Washburn and she with several children survive him. He was a member of the Baptist Church, A Master Mason and a Democrat and enjoyed the esteem of all his acquaintances. He was a member of the Barry Lodge A. F. & A. M. of Washburn and that lodge conducted the funeral services at the Rowley family cemetery Tuesday.
