The Willits News
In the winter of 1918 Lee Kelly O'Ferrall left the Horse Ranch by buckboard bringing his wife, Callie, to Round Valley to await the birth of their child. Edna was born on a cold winter evening in a two story house on Wattenberg Lane.
The little red-haired freckle-faced girl grew up on the Horse Ranch. She was a constant and unpaid patrol as she rode her pony, Modoc, in wild abandon as they outran the Winds of Chinook in their pursuit of law and order. "Pat", her constant protector and compadre raced along side. This mutt completed the security guard and was of immeasurable worth to the tiny buckaroo.
As an only child, Edna looked forward to visits from her cousins, Ted O'Ferrall and Ferrall McCarthy, who helped her with her ranch chores and then were off to another one of their adventurous exploits, which they relived in hushed huddles and unrestrained bouts of laughter in the years that followed.
Edna began her education riding alone on horseback for six miles to a one room mountain schoolhouse at the tender age of six. She boarded out in Round Valley to complete her high school requirements. Her experiences on the trail were legendary and could fill a book. She was always full of fun.
Robert Henderson found irresistible charm in this little vacquero and was Edna's hero thoughout their lives. They were married in Reno, Nevada and raised their three youngsters on the ranches they were employed by outside the valley.
Edna had many talents, one of which was being a great cook to the delight of family, friends and professional concerns. She was a fine hand at working cattle, building fences, considered by her husband to be a master branding iron carrier. She managed a hotel-cafe, was a feed store employee and a bookkeeper. She was always on the high road, and her smiles and laughter were contagious and heart warming.
Edna's husband, father, mother, sons in law Jackie Goforth and Bill Hurt, as well as step grandson, Michael Jamison, preceded her in death.
She is survived by her daughter, Claire Hurt and grandsons Robert and Rodney, daughter, Betty Goforth and grandchildren, Tawna Jamison and John Goforth, and son, Jerry Henderson and wife Marianne, and grandchildren Leanne, Nick and wife Becky.
She loved her 14 great grandchildren and they adored their "Momo." In alphabetical order they are: Ashley, Bryce, Clancy, Courtney, Dylan, Jeff, JR, Luke, Macy, Maxwell, Sheena, Spencer, Wyatt and great-great granddaughter Brianna.
She had the special honor of being Kerri Philbrick's godmother. She was God's gift and our blessing.
