Obituary Date: 1913-09-19

Information: Henry N. Stout was born 2 March 1845 and departed this life 10 Sept. 1913.  He was married to Loraine E. Grant, 30 April, 1868.  To this union was born one daughter, Pernae, who, with his wife, survive him.  In his home life he was kind and affectionate and they feel their loss is irreparable.  Mr. Stout was born and reared on the old homestead, and spent all his life there except the three and one half years spent in the Southern Confederacy.  He was left an orphan at the tender age of three years.  He inherited a few acres from his father, which by his honesty and thrifty habits, he acquired a competence.  Henry's big, sympathetic heart went out to all the needy and distressed, and more especially to the orphaned little ones, which he demonstrated by taking into his home two boys which he raised to early manhood.  His last sickness, sympathetic heart trouble caused by cancer of the stomach, was short and severe and when the crisis came he met it with the same cheerful fortitude he had observed all his life.  After making arrangements for his body to be clad in the beloved Grey, he quietly folded his hands and smilingly went to sleep.  On Thursday morning, after a very impressive service by his boyhood friend, Rev. E. D. W. King, assisted by Rev. Smith, in the presence of a number of friends, he was laid to rest in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery, by the side of his father and mother.   (from the Betty Kessel McIntyre collection)
