    3. Jeffersonville (IN) Weekly Journal, February 19, 1897, p. 3. Henry Denzler, a boilermaker by occupation, died at his home, 283 East Seventh Street, this morning at three o'clock. For four years the deceased had been a victim of jaundice caused by swamp fever contracted in the South where he was employed by the government. Upon the advice of his physician, he was compelled to return to this climate in the hope of securing relief. Dr. L. L. Williams assisted by Drs. Field and O. P. Graham, held a post mortem examination and found that the liver weighed five and a half pounds. The normal weight is three and a half pounds. An examination of the spleen revealed that it was enlarged to four times its size. The physicians say that the fact that he lived so long under these conditions is most remarkable. He leaves a wife, formerly Miss Emma Schwaninger, daughter of Adam Schwaninger of Claysburg. The remains will be taken to the German M. E. Church tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock where services will be held. Interment in Walnut Hill Cemetery.
