Lizzie HENDERSON - 2 Dec 1872 - 25 Mar 1930
"Mrs. Lizzie Henderson, wife of Mr. John Wayne Henderson of Lucas,
died at the family residence Tueday at the age of 57 years, after a long
and lingering illness. She is survived by her husband, who is one of the
best citizens of Barren county, but no children, their only daughter
having died a number of years ago, leaving two children, Rodney and
Frances Young, who live with Mr. Henderson.
"Before her marriage she was Miss Lizzie Gillock, a daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Hezakiah Gillock, and is survived by four
brothers: Messrs. Jim and Boss Gillock of Dallas, Tex.; Scott Gillock of
Game, Otis Gillock of Finney.
"Mr. and Mrs. Henderson spent most of their married life at
Finney, where they owned hundreds of acres of river bottom and upland,
and where Mr. Henderson farmed in a most successful way, and massed a
large fortune. A few yars ago, they sold their farm to Mr. T. J. Samson
and moved to Lucas, where they have since lived.
"Mrs. Henderson was a devoted member of the Baptist Church and
lived one of the purest lives. She leaves a host of friends to mourn her
loss.
"The burial was in the cemetery at Finney yesterday afternoon
after funeral services by Rev. C. W. Rigdon."
