Henry Vanheems décède en 1912 :

HENRY VANHEEMS.
The Yarrawonga ‘'Mercury” states that the grief which occasioned the members of the family of Mrs Vanheems, whose demise was chronicled in these columns, was accentuated by the sudden death of Mr Henry Vanheems, which took place at three o'clock on Monday morning. The deceased gentleman, who has conducted the business of a photographic artist in Yarrawonga for some time past was born at Richmond in 1860. For some years he resided in the Shepparton district, where he was well known and widely esteemed. After visiting several Riverina towns, he settled in Rutherglen where he contracted a chill, which subsequently developed into asthma, he came to Yarrawonga about seven years ago, and has since been a sufferer from this complaint, which made great inroads on his hitherto apparently robust constitution. The deceased attended the funeral of his late wife on Thursday last, May 30th., and contracted a chill whilst at the cemetery. Pneumonia supervened, and, although the best of medical advice was obtained, the patient graduallly sank until death entered and relieved him of all earthly suffering. The deceased leaves one son and two daughters to mourn his loss.
