Mr. Healy was taken ill nearly two weeks ago and has been growing steadily worse. At noon yesterday hope of his recovery was abandoned and his relatives were notified that his death might occur at any minute.
Commissioner Healy is 38 years of age and is well known in political circle of Campbell County. He is the son of Henry Healy, who was prominent in Newport. Mr. Healy is single and makes his home with his mother and sisters. He has been quite prominent in the management of the Democratic party in Campbell County and did much to bring about the election of Senator John P Newman as Circuit Judge of Campbell County.
Judge Newman died before he could take charge of the office and Judge Berry, who succeeded him, carried out the promise.

Thomas Healy, Master Commissioner of the Campbell Circuit Court
and a rising young attorney of prominence, both politically and in his
profession, died yesterday afternoon at his home, 1012 Central avenue. Typhoid
fever, from which the deceased had been a sufferer for nearly two weeks, caused
death.
Mr. Healy had lain in a state of coma for the last three days and yesterday cerebral meningitis completed the ravages and the end came peacefully shortly after 4 pm. He was the son of Henry Healy, who died about eight years ago. He was admitted to the bar when quite a young man and at once became active in politics.
When Senator John P Newman was elected Circuit Judge of Campbell County, he valued the services that he made tender the office of Master Commissioner to Mr. Healy. But before Judge Newman took his seat, he was stricken and passed away. In the struggle that resulted over his office, Judge A S Berry was successful and he redeemed the promise made by Judge Newman by appointed Mr. Healy as his chancellor.
He was holding this office at the time of his death. He was 38 years of age and single, resident with his mother and sisters on Central avenue. One of his sisters is the wife of Squire Quehle of the Highlands. The deceased was a member of the Elks Ancient Order of Hibernians and YMI.
