JOHN HENRIE, 5th child of Samuel & Hannah Isabella (Ellis) Henrie, was b. 23 Oct. 1870, Panaca, Nevada [bapt. 7 Aug. 1879, end. 12 June 1894], d. 1950s, Brigham City, Utah, hospital, bur. 13 Feb. in Panguitch City Cemetery. He m. 12 June 1894, St. George (L.D.S. Temple) to Sarah Louise Worthen, dau. of Samuel Worthen. She was b. 16 Sept. 1876, Panguitch [bapt. 10 Sept. 1885, end. & S.to H. 12 June 1894].
The following sketch of John and Sarah Louise was given by their eldest daughter, Wanda (Henrie) Davis.
John Henrie was a happy person. He always had a cheery word and firm handshake for old and young. He was slow to anger, but never failed to defend what he thought was right. He helped the widows with a sack of potatoes a load of wood (which often took an entire day to bring down from the hills); garden produce which he loved to raise; and during the summer just prior to his death, he had one of the best gardens in the country, which he shared with his neighbors, friends, and children.
He loved to dance, and many times the floor was cleared for him to step dance and do his tricks, much to the amusement of all present. In the mountains near Panguitch, Hollywood made a motion picture “Bob, Son of Battle,” and John danced with Bell Cooper for the film, and enjoyed it immensely.
He bought the large B1ue Spring Ranch which his father had owned, and he and his wife Sarah ran a dairy for a number of years, making fine cheese and hundreds of pounds of golden yellow butter.
When he sold the ranch, he had a bad financial loss. He was so honest himself, he figured everyone else was the same; and instead of having papers of the transaction drawn up, he took the buyer’s word and was beat out of a large sum of money and many head of cattle.
Besides the butter and cheese, the ranch produced many tons of hay, cut each fall to be fed to the stock through the winter months. The snows fell very deep there in that high elevation and most of the cattle were kept on the ranch to winter. One of these winters John almost froze to death while going from town (Panguitch) back to the ranch, so he sold out and decided to work at something not so hazardous as those trips proved to be.
Sarah Louise was a practical nurse and did much good among the townspeople, often remaining with a patient for weeks at a time, at least making one visit a day to administer comfort and cheer. When it was necessary, she took the laundry to her home and returned it clean and nicely ironed. Many instances could be related of her kindness and love for the poor, the sick, and those called to mourn.
When her granddaughter Alta contracted membranous croup, then so-called, Sarah Louise came to help take care of her, when others would not enter the house for fear of contagion. When her health failed and she had developed a [p. 353] bad heart, she still kept in touch with friends and neighbors by means of her telephone. Her thoughts and interests were ever for someone else. She and John lived a very happy life together. He never fully recovered from the shock of her death and never tired of saying what a wonderful wife and mother she was. He spent his last years farming.
They loved the Church and tried to do what good they could in its service. Sarah Louise was active in Relief Society work all her married life till her health failed and she was confined to her home.
John was strictly honest in all his dealings and taught his children to be as he was and not to lie. In his wife’s funeral, the speakers said many complimentary things about John and all to his credit.
