Mrs. L. ]. Hensley, wife of
Mr.. w. w. Hensley, died at her
home two miles north of Coving-
ton Wednesday morning, aged sixty
two years, eight months and eleven
days. Mrs. Hensley had been sick
for several months. She was born
in Lincoln County, N. c., in 1888,
and was the daughter OF Benjamin
and Margaret Proctor. She was
married in 1852 to Mr.. Hensley,
and as a result Of this union twelve
children were born, seven of whom
still survive. She professed religion
at the age of fifteen and joined the
Methodist Church and was a faith
full and consistent member. During
her illness kind friends did every
thing in their power to alleviate
her suffering, and administered
many kind words and good deeds.
Her husband and children have the
sincere sympathy of large number
of friends. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. L. T.
Ramsey at the Townsend graveyard,
where she was buried Wednesday
morning. -Four members of the
Knights of Pythias acted as pail
bearers, her husband being a mem
Der of that order.-Covington Lead
er. A few years since, Mr.. Hens
ley and family moved from this
county to Upton county, and
though comparative strangers in the
county to which they moved, have
so conducted themselves as to win
the respect and esteem Of many
with whom they came in contact.
The friends of Mr.. Henslcy in this
county will regret to learn of his
loss.
