In the death of Capt. N.S. Henry, which occurred at 6:15 o'clock Tuesday morning, November 23rd, 1926, aged 85 years, came another break in the South's fast thinning line of Gray with yet another of her Confederate Veterans answering the last roll-call. Capt. Henry died at the Fayetteville hospital following an operation and a critical illness of several days. Norborne S. Henry was born at Waynesboro, Va. August 10th, 1841, his parents being members of two of the earliest Virginia families. At the age of 20 he entered the Confederate Army, serving throughout the War Between the States as a member of the Rockbridge Artillery, General Stonewall Jackson's brigade. As a part of his heroic service record in the Confederate States Army is the fact that he fought in every battle in which General Robert E. Lee and General Stonewall Jackson were engaged in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Very soon after the close of the war Capt. Henry moved from Virginia to Sedalia, Mo. where he stayed a year. From Sedalia he came to Bentonville, making this place his home continuously until the last few years where he has made his home with or near his children in different states, his last days being spent at Springdale where a son and two daughters were living. As a resident of Bentonville Capt. Henry was among those who wielded the greatest influence in the upbuilding of the town and section. Soon after coming here and for a number of years, he was engaged in the hardware and implement business. He was one of the builders and owners of Bentonville's first steam railway, his partner being the late D.H. Woods. After the sale of the Bentonville Railroad to other interests Mr. Henry was engaged in other local enterprises. For a number of years he and the late W.E. Wharton conducted a mercantile business here, Mr. Henry retiring from active business after selling his interest in that store. Capt. Henry served three consecutive terms as treasurer of Benton county. He was a life-long member of the Presbyterian Church and for 54 years an elder in the Bentonville church of that faith. He probably never missed a service if at all possible to be present and his religion and Christianity were a vital part of his daily life. Quiet and retiring, he was loved for his likable personality and staunchness of character. On September 8th, 1873 Capt. Henry married Miss Martha Taliaferro of Bentonville, a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C.D. Taliaferro and member of one of this section's most esteemed and earliest pioneer families. Mrs. Henry died here at Bentonville on January 18th, 1923. Capt. Henry is survived by two sons, Norborne Henry of Rock Island, Ill. and Dr. Richard T. Henry of Springdale, Ark. and four daughters, Mrs. Meade W. Fishback, Fayetteville, Ark.; Mrs. Leslie Pierce, Vincennes, Ind.; Mrs. Wm. Montgomery, Lancaster, Penn. and Miss Jett Henry, Chicago. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Bentonville Presbyterian Church where Capt. Henry had worshiped for more than half a century, conducted by the pastor, Rev. A.W. Henderson, the profusion of beautiful flowers and the Confederate flag draped over his casket reminding the great number of friends present of his lovable personality and the faithful service of his life. Interment was made in the Bentonville cemetery.
