Henry Plate, well known early Rock Valley businessman and horse trainer, died Sunday at his home in San Diego, California. He was the father of Mrs. William (Eleanore) Balzer of Rock Valley and of Joseph Plate of Delhi, California, who survive him. His brother, Louis, another early Rock Valley citizen, has passed, as have other members of the Plate family, and Henry was the last to go.

There are a number of nieces and nephews at Burlington and Milwaukee, Wis.

Mr. Plate opened a shoe shop when he first came here about 1882 and was later engaged in other business enterprises, leaving here for the Pacific coast in 1906. He built the house which is now the J.H. Kearns residence. The house was quite famous for having 7 outside doorways in those days. It has since been greatly modernized and improved and is known as one of the best built houses in town.

Mr. Plate was 81 years of age at the time of his death. Funeral services were held in San Diego Tuesday morning. Mrs. Balzer attended the services for her father and is expected home from California soon.
