THE INTERIOR JOURNAL
Stanford, KY - Nov. 5, 1897

DIED SUDDENLY - Valentine W. Gentry, familiarly known as "Tine" died of 
heart's disease at his son, C.V. Gentry's home, about 12:30 Wednesday. 
He had not been in good health for a day or two, but was in town 
Tuesday and voted for the democratic ticket. His son insisted on his 
returning home as soon as he voted, but he was so interested in the 
election that it was nearly time for the polls to close before he could 
be persuaded to leave. He was feeling not much worse Wednesday morning 
and was out of the house several times, but about noon he told his 
daughter-in-law that he was ill and asked her to make a mustard plaster 
and place over his heart. She did so and a few minutes he threw his 
arms about her neck and said, "Honey, I am dying" and expired in a few 
seconds. Mr. Gentry was 70 years old and had been a widower for 17 
years when his wife, who was a daughter of the late Chris Engleman, was 
called to a better world. Besides the son mentioned above he leaves 
another, H.H. Gentry, who lives near Kansas City, MO., two married 
daughters, Mesdames Thomas Gentry and John Stout, of Danville and Miss 
Nannie Gentry, of Harrodsburg. He was a clever man and his children and 
friends are distressed at the loss of him. After services at the 
Christian Church by Elder J.T. Sharrard at 2p.m. yesterday he was laid 
to rest in Buffalo Cemetery.
