Mrs Henry, a daughter of Abraham and Susie Jobe, was born May 23, 1857, two and one-half miles north of California. She was married to Mr Henry on September 21, 1878.
Eight children were born to this union, Joseph and J. P. of Kansas City, Kans., W. O. of Stillwater, Minn.; Mrs. Ralph Birdsong of Kansas City, Kans.; Mrs. Henry McDaniel, seven miles north of Kansas City, and Della who died in infancy, Myrtle who died at the age of 18 years and Lula who died April 19, 1941, at the age of 52 years.

Mrs. Henry was converted early in life and joined the Baptist church of which she remained a faithful, consistent member until her death.
On September 21, 1928, the Henry's celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary at which time all their children and grandchildren, as well as many other relatives and friends were present. On this same occasion their youngest son, John Pat Henry, married Miss Lula Green of Kansas City, Kans.
Ten years later they celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary. At the time of Mrs. Henry's death they had lived together a little more than 63 years, spending the entire time in or near California.
Neither had been physically able to attend church services for several years, yet their interest never grew less because of their physical handicaps.
Funeral services were held at the California Baptist church at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, November 12, the Rev. A B. Constantz, pastor, officiating. Music was by the church choir. Burial was in the Flag Spring cemetery.
Mr. Henry has gone to Kansas City to live with Mr. and Mrs. Birdsong.
