Syracuse newspaper articles re: Louise Heiman

On February 17, 1967, Henry died of cancer in New York City, New York, at age 55.[3]

Some sources erroneously give other accounts of Henry's death. Obituaries in the Performing Arts, 2011 says, "Actress Louise Henry ... died in Syracuse, New York, on December 12, 2011."[4] The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 23 also gives December 12, 2011, as the date of her death.[5] In contrast, the third edition of Resting Places: The Burial Sites of More Than 14,000 Famous Persons says, "Internet stories that she lived to 100 in Syracuse notwithstanding, she was married to Samuel Robert Weltz until her death in New York City from Cancer at 55." A source for such confusion may be that Louise Henry's uncle, Dr. Mark Heiman, lived all of his life with his sister (also Louise's aunt) and her family in the Meadowbrook neighborhood of Syracuse.[3] Louise is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York.[3]
