Retired Merchant Answers Summons This Morning

Passes to His Reward at 6:30 A. M.

Henry John Fenemore, 87, retired merchant tailor, widely known through this section, passed away this morning at his home on West Wright Street.

Mr. Fenemore, who would have reached the age of 88 in January, has been ill for the past seven weeks with infirmities due to old age.

Mr. Fenemore was born in England but had lived in this community for over half a century. He for many years was a member of the firm of Ruhl & Fenemore, Clothing merchants and made a wide circle of friends.

He was a member of the I. O. O. F. of England and a member of the K.P. Order here in Covington.

He has made his home with Mrs. James Carson, since the death of his wife a number of years ago and is survived by Mrs. Rosy Byford and a nephew Roger Billingham, both of Detroit, Mich. The other relatives reside in England.

Funeral services will be held from the home Monday afternoon at 2:00 with Rev. W. H. Christian officiating. Interment will be made in Highland cemetery in charge of George W. Miller.
