JOHN HENSON
Forty years ago John Henson came from his Kentucky home with
his motherless children and bought land adjoining what is now Kenny. He then married Martha Jane Fruit, and for nearly
twenty years, lived on the farm and raised a large family of
children. Twenty-three years ago they moved to Clinton where
Mr. Henson carried on the business of butchering and farming. During his life he dwelt in peace with his fellow-man and in all his business transactions, he was straighforward. John Henson was a good citizen because the
moral convictions of his life led him to do right. About two
years ago the old man became a member of the M.E. Church in
this city. In the simplicity of his heart he had full
confidence in the promise of the bible, and he rejoiced in
the knwoledge that God was his helper. He leaves a widow and
seven children to profit by the example of his life.
