HENSLEY, Mary E. - At her home near Osage Mills, Benton county, Ark., March 16th, 1896, after a brief illness, Mrs. Mary Hensley, beloved wife of Baxter Hensley, quietly and peacefully passed from this earthly tabernacle. She was born August 10th, 1852 and died at the age of 43 years and 7 months, leaving a faithful husband and eight dutiful children to mourn her sudden departure. At the age of 18 years she gave herself to Christ and united with the Baptist church at Temperance Hill, in which church she lived an exemplary Christian life. She was a sufferer from that dread disease, pneumonia, and though her sufferings were great and at time it seemed almost unbearable, yet she was seldom heard to complain. The funeral services were held at Temperance Hill on the following day, March 17th, in the presence of a great concourse of sorrowing friends, after which her remains were laid to rest in the church yard to await the final summons at the last day. C.A. Rogers.
