HENRY, Doris

Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ Friday March 7, 1952 LAST RITES FOR MRS DORIS HENRY TO BE 3 O'CLOCK AT WICKENBURG CHAPEL. Bishop Walter Mitchell, formerly of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona, will conduct funeral services for Mrs Henry at 3 o'clock Friday (today) afternoon at the Wickenburg Chapel. He will be assisted by Dr Charles S. Poling of the First Presbyterian Church here. Burial will be in the Wickenburg Cemetery. This community was stunned and saddened by the death of Mrs Doris Henry, wife of Dr. William N. Henry, which occurred at 3:05 p.m. Wednesday at Community Hospital. Mrs Henry was delivered of a baby boy by Caesarean Section at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning. The baby weighted 7 pounds, 4 ounces. At 8:50 a. m. Dr Floyd B. Bralliar, who had performed the operation with the assistance of a Phoenix surgeon, discovered Mrs Henry's heart had stopped beating. An incision was made immediately and Dr Bralliar massaged the heart for three hours, keeping it functioning while every other means known to medical science was brought into play. SURGEON FLOWN HERE An eminent Phoenix chest surgeon who had performed an operation at Fort Whipple Veterans Hospital near Prescott was flown here by Everett Bowman in his plane and an Anesthetist from Phoenix was brought to the hospital to join with the others in their desperate efforts to save Mrs Henry's life. After six hours of massaging the heart, those, efforts proved in vain. Mrs Henry was born in Winslow May 1, 1924 and was the daughter of Mr and Mrs Arthur R. Dewey of that city. She attended High School in Winslow and later entered the Los Angeles General Hospital for training in nursing. At that time she met Dr Henry, an interne in the hospital. Mrs Henry received her certificate as a Registered Nurse and Dr Henry entered the military service. They were married March 24, 1946, at Flagstaff. Dr and Mrs Henry came to Wickenburg in August of 1948 where he became associated with Dr Bralliar in general practice at the Bralliar Clinic. Their other son, Charles, was born here April 28, 1949. Besides her husband, two sons and parents, she is survived by a brother, Dr Arthur R Dewey, Jr, an oral surgeon of Ventura, Calif. Mrs Henry had made a host of friends while a resident here. She was a young woman of great personal charm. Her passing will be deeply mourned by all who had come to know her in the few years she had lived here and entered into the life of the community. The family requests that friends who might wish to send floral offerings refrain from doing so and instead contribute to the Community Hospital.
