  • Notes 
    • From "The St. Johnsbury Caledonian", 30 Nov. 1893 (posted on findagrave
      Death came suddenly, but painlessly, to our townsman, Henry French, on Monday afternoon. Mr. French had been ailing for some weeks past with a heart difficulty, but it was only two weeks ago that his family became convinced that he was seriously ill. He had been up and dressed almost every day until Monday noon, when he took to his bed, seeming even then fairly comfortable; but about the middle of the afternoon he passed away, without a word of warning or any indication of suffering. Deceased was in his 65th year. He was born in Craftsbury and came to St. Johnsbury when a child. With the exception of a ten years residence in New York city, Mr. French had lived in St. Johnsbury since coming here with his parents. His father, the late Asa French, was judge of probate for the county about 30 years, and for the last 12 years of that time his son Henry was with him in the office. Since Carrick Bros' Granite Company was formed Mr. French had been its cashier. He leaves a wife and two children, a son and daughter. Deceased had been quite active in town and village affairs, and had many friends to whom the news of his sudden death brings sorrow. The funeral occurred yesterday afternoon at two o'clock Mr. French was an active member of the South church where he will be much missed.
