Mary Elizabeth, wife of Charles
Hendershot, died at their home
near Franklin Mills, Saturday,
September 10Th 1914, aged about
26 years. The funeral, conduct
ed by Rev. T. P. Garland, of
Needmore, took place Sunday
afternoon, and interment was
made at Mays Chapel. The fol-
loving, in reference to her death
is taken from the Hancock Star:
Mrs Hendershot was a daugh-
ter of William Ray. Deceased is
survived by her husband and
three children. She died from
an abscess on the brain, and a
story is in circulation that she
had been struck on the head by
some person and died from the
effects.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hendershot and
three children were in Hancock
for the last day of the Home
| Coming. Mr.. and Mrs. Gayle
RemSburg and children were with |
them. The ladies and children
we're exposed to the cold night |
air on the streets until about II |
o'clock, when the policemen pre-
vailed on the men to take their
families home. The little chill
dren, all asleep, were wrapped
in blankets given them by some
ladies' and laid carefully in the
bottom of a wagon used in haul
ing bark. The officers then
warned the men to take their
families carefully home. Both
men were under the influence of
liquor. Hendershot had some hot
words with his father while in
Hancock and it was necessary to
warn the father to go home early,
which he did.
One story in circulation states
that when the party was loaded
INTO the wagon in Hancock a po-
lceman struck at Hendershot,
but missed him and his billy
struck Mrs. Hendershot on the
lead' That story is without any
foundation, in fact, because Mr..
d. f. Heller, Chief of Police, as
sisted by several ladies loaded up
ne family and no trouble of any
Kind occurred then."
