She also leaves a number of grandchildren.

Mrs. Henry was born in this county coming of a pioneer family of Wrightsboro section where she was born and reared and where she spent her entire life.

She was a daughter of L. W. Wright, one time county commissioner from the Wrightsboro precinct.

For many years she had been a professing Christian and was a member of the Wrightsboro Baptist church.

Mrs. Henry was a devoted wife and mother and was widely loved not only in the large family connection, but throughout that section of the county.
