Sister Hensley was a good woman, a tender mother. She has borne life's battles faithfully. Her's [sic] has been a long pilgrimage with the usual sunshine and shadow, bright and happy days and those that were dark, and
"When sinks the soul subdued by toil, to slumber,
Its closing eye looks up to Thee in prayer
Sweet the repose, beneath Thy love o'ershadowing
But Sweeter still to wake and find Thee there."
Her life has been one of faith and trust in God. It has only begun in its reality.
Funeral services were held at the Christian church on Thursday, June 24 at 2:30 p. m., the Rev. J. G[.] Slick officiating. The interment was in Glade City cemetery. ~Sisters Martha and Jane married brothers, Byers and Henry, respectively.
