In memory of Ananzar Hensley
On Dec. 2sth, as the day was fast
: waning, at the hour Of six, the exem-
plary christian life of Amanzar Hens
ley came to its peaceful end at the
advanced age of IS years, month.
: and % days. He was born in Mont
gomery county, KY, May 81, 1921.
When 1S years old he confessed his
faith in Christ, which was character
istic of the man, and entering with
: all his heart upon his christian ca
reer he never fal:ered in doing his
4 duty. He was married to Miss Eliza
beth Frame in 1S4l by this unior
: there were born eleven children, 81,
sons and five daughters. Two daugh
tiers preceded bim to the spirit land
y His wife was the greatest comfort OF
: his life was taken from him by death
three years prior to his death. Hs
seemed never to survive his bereave
II ment. He moved from Kentucky t
5 Jackson county, Mo-, in 1866 and set
5 tied near Independence at which
place he lived till 1895, when h,
came to Bates county. He was unitet
in marriage the second time, Nov. l
1895, to Mrs Millard Cuzick, who sur
wives him. He was a practical Bible
student and his tenacity and regular
itv in reading the Bible was remark
able, not because he felt it Il duty Q
a good practice, but because he Ell
joyed it; Indeed his entire religion
life was an enjoyment. He knew tn
Bible almost from memory and trle'
in all things TO mould his life by 1t
teachings. 1t is thought by thos
with whom he was most lntlmatel
associated with that he never expert
enced a single doubt of faith respect
ing God his Savior, and the futur
state and what a strong hope IL ha
left, knowing him to be such a rip
christian. He was follower o
Christ over half a century and ag
ripened his love for Him. All VIII
knew and became associated wit
him caught the sweet spirit OF III
life and saw in his peaceful deaf
the assurance of welcome applaudl
of the Father he trusted all through
'well done thou good and faithful SCI

it also leaves a life long benedictio
of a most devoted christian father
