Henry Ford, an American businessman and automaker, died in 1947 at the age of 83 1770.
Henry Ford died on Monday, April 7, 1947, at 11:40 p.m. at his Dearborn home, Fair Lane Estate, of a brain haemorrhage. He was 83 years old at the time. Clara Ford and members of their home staff sat at his bedside. Flooding on the Rouge River, which runs through Fair Lane's grounds, had cut off electricity at the time of his death. The only sources of light in the house were old-fashioned kerosene lamps and candles, creating a setting reminiscent to his birth in the same county many years previously.
