From "THE ROANOKE LEADER", Roanoke, Randolph County, Alabama, Wednesday, January 28, 1920
IN MEMORY OF MRS. HENDON-- On February 13, 1861, near Rock Mills, a little girl was born. For twenty years she was known as Theley Keeble. Then she married W.D. Hendon. She was his constant, loving companion till death claimed her Dec. 19, 1919.

Her life-time neighbors testify she was a warm-hearted, true, consistent christian. Her son Tom, and daughter Mrs. Sanford Shelnutt, say she was a queenly mother in deed and in truth. Her husband will tell you she was a good, affectionate wife, a safe counselor and a willing and patient sharer of life's duties and responsibilities.

At the end she gave unmistakable evidence that angels were beckoning her to a brighter realm. To her many friends we say we cannot understand God's will in taking her from us. There are many, whom we have loved, gone before God will take us into this goodly company some glad day.

Now, to Tom and to Mae, let us say we know your hearts are sorely grieved at the loss of your splendid mother. Console yourselves with the blessed assurance that some day you shall see her in a happier world. And to our lifelong friend, "Bill", we all regret exceedingly to see you in your sorrow. We do not ask you not to grieve; you can't help it, but do not try to explain to yourself so trying an hour. Bring into requisition all the faith and courage you can control. With loving confidence in Him who doeth all things well, face the seemingly dismal future. Trust in God and lean hard upon your friends.

To all sorrowing relatives and friends, we wish we could say something to make your path a little smoother and easier. And to everyone we would say, God knows the way, he holds the key. He guides us with his hand.
