Bio
Bluffton, Indiana - Bluffton Chronicle Wednesday, December 25, 1912 - P4C4 Henry W. Dalrymple Died Suddenly Well Known Citizen Stricken Monday Morning Died In Few Minutes Henry W. Dalrymple, a veteran of the civil war and one of the well-known citizens of Wells County, died suddenly Monday morning at his home at 1128 West Washington street, form paralysis of the heart and throat. Mr. Dalrymple had arisen at seven o'clock and when he passed away about 7:35 he had been seated on a low chair near a stove finishing dressing. His son, Warren was in the room with him. He noticed his father reeling on his chair in time to catch him before he fell to the floor. The sick man passed away in a very few moments. Mr. Dalrymple had suffered a severe paralytic stroke five years ago. He had entirely recovered form the effects of his illness at that time and was able to go about on the streets wherever he wished. He was in his usual health when he arose Monday, and his death came absolutely without warning. Mr. Dalrymple was born at Lisbon, Ohio, on January 19, 1838. He came to Wells County about fifty years ago and was married in 1861 in Huntington county to Anna Reiff. This was just before the beginning of the Civil War and when Lincoln issued his call for troops Mr. Dalrymple enlisted in the 31st Indiana Cavelry. He served as a trooper for a short time and was then transferred to the commissary department, where he was made master of a wagon train. He served in this capacity for three years. After the war he returned to Wells County where he and his wife made their home on a farm west of the city. His first wife passed away and about 15 years ago, he retired from farming and took up the work of an evangelist. He was connected with the Friends church and held meetings in a number of places. He spent three years in Kansas as the pastor of a church and continued his ministerial work until five years ago, when he suffered a stroke of paralysis which incapacitated him for the time being. Mr. Dalrymple was married a second time, eleven years ago to Melissa Lawson. She survives him. The children who survive him are as follows: Wm. A. M. Dalrymple, Toledo; C. W. Dalrymple, Birmingham, Ala.; L. W. Dalrymple, Horican, Wis.; Mrs. E. C. Ware, Bluffton, and Mrs. E. M. Mossburg, of Warren, who is in California for the winter. Two sisters, also survive, Mrs. Louisa Worley, of West Manchester, Ohio, and Mrs. Judith Ann Worley, who is now residing in California. (Thanks to David Huffman for the OBIT)
