For 101 years, since the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918-1919, Amos F. Hensley has rested in an unmarked grave very close to the steep bank of the cemetery near the road. We know the location because His son, Paul C. Hensley was custodian for the church, and In a news article for The Greeneville Sun, Paul described how the bank was scraped off too close to the graves when the county widened the road. During this interview, Paul also tells that his father's grave is the closest to the edge.
In the Greeneville Sun death announcement for
his eldest daughter, Cora Hensley Feasel (also spelled Feezell and Fezell), who died of pneumonia fever (a result of the Spanish Flu) 5 days after Amos, it states that she was buried beside of her father - also in an unmarked grave.
According to a cousin, Margaret's grave is also near Amos' and is also unmarked. Margaret's obituary also states that the funeral was held at Meadow Creek. The 3 graves are to the left of their son Paul C. Hensley and his two infant children, James and Robert Hensley. Margaret's would be the first, then Cora, and Amos nearest the bank's edge. On May 22, 2020 I (his Great-great Grandaughter) was finally able to mark these graves with a small stone.
Amos was the husband of Margaret Elizabeth (Ward) Hensley. They were married August 14, 1887 in Greene County, TN.
