He died in 1896[2], at a result of drowning in Gardiners Creek[3][4][5]. The death was registered at East Melbourne.
As the articles state, Henry was the son of a butcher, who was at present in Coolgardie, W.A. He resided with his mother at Cheriton Street, Camberwell [incorrectly printed as Cherriton-street], although this is somewhat in dispute given that the death notice states Station Street.
His name does not appear in Deceased Searches for the Box Hill, St. Kilda, and Boroondara (Kew) General Cemeteries.
Aet 12y.
