WILLIAMS, HENRY - Henry Williams, a well known colored man, was found dead lying in the gutter near the residence of Jacob Hartman on West Market street early Tuesday morning.  Deputy Coroner Charles E. Fox of West Milton was called to Troy and held an inquest which disclosed the fact that Williams worked in Rowe's fertilizer factory and was probably on his way home from work when death, due to neuralgia of the heart, overtook him.  Williams was about 50 years of age and lived alone, his wife having died about two years ago.  He is survived by three daughters, two sons and four brothers.  The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the colored Baptist church, Rev. Gibson officiating.
