Henshav, now living in n New Mexico, were in Payson during the week 1 b'y came through from their home by auto and after spending a few days with old time friends, left th south-easter- tr.p through the Yellowstone National Park. Mr. Henshaw lived in Payson about a years ago and at that prominent in business affairs of this city. When he first located in Payson he opened and operated a photograph gallery but later went into the newspaper business. Together with F. A. Huish, now of Ogden, Mr. Henshaw, launched the old Payson Header an enterprising and aggressive weekly newspaper that later was consolidated with the Payson Globe. The paper later became the Paysonian and now continues under the name of the Chronicle, hence it might be stated that Mr. Henshaw was one of the founders of Paysons present newspaper. Tom Henshaw was a capable business man and during his brief career as editor of a weekly paper demonstrated his ability as a brilliant and forcible writer. He was pleasantly surprised to note the many improvements that have taken place, in this section during the past score and a half years but disappointed to learn of the passing of many of his old time frriends. Many others witn whom he was acquainted have moved to other localities but Mr. Henshaw had a pleasant visit with O. P. Huish with whom he was form rly engaged in business, both being photographers in the old days. At present Mr. Henshaw- - is operating a real estate agency at Artesia, thirty-thre- e vva3 In preparation for the lime New Mexico. o -- o Ralph Mighaccio popular local orchestra leader, accompanied by Mrs. Yier-te- l, Migliaceio, Bud Green and Viola returned from a trip to Denver early this week.
