DEATH OF A WORTHY LADY
On Sunday, August 31, Mrs. Emily Henderson, wife of our fellow-citizen, Judge James S. Henderson, died after a lingering and painful illness of several weeks. Mrs. Henderson, at the time of her death, was in her 63rd year. She was one of the oldest and most highly respected ladys in our county, and one who will be sadly missed and long and kindly remembered by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
On the 14th day of June 1835 she with James Tate, Daniel Nolley, Margaret M. Nolley, Mary Grant, Martha Buchanan, Elizabeth J. King, Elizabeth Talbot, Nancy Anderson, Jeremiah Orear, Mary Orear, Thomas Patton and Amanda Patton were organized into the First Presbyterial Church in Fulton, and we think the first in the county.
Of this number 7 are dead, leaving 6 of the original number to follow. She leaves a bereaved husband, two daughters and fours sons, two of whom, Wm. H. and Jos. C. are in Nevada.
Mrs. Henderson s funeral sermon was preached at the Presbyterian Church in this city on Monday, September 1st, by the Reverend W. W. Robertson from the last clause of the 32 verse, 14th chapter of Proverbs: tBut the righteous hath hope in his death.A A large number of the relatives and acquaintances of the deceased were present at the church, the great part of whom, with sorrowing hearts accompanied the procession to the Hockaday burial grounds, south of town. When the mournful cortege arrived at the grave, a prayer was offered by Reverend C. C. Hersman and a hymn sung, after which Miss Florence Price gently placed a wreath of evergreens on the coffin, which was then sadly lowered to its last resting place.
After the grave had been closed, Miss Sue Hockaday placed another wreath on it and the large concourse or relatives and friends of the deceased, returned to their various homes.
