I have a book given to me by my Dad about the history of Henley, titled:

HENLEY MISSOURI, YESTERDAY AND TODAY

Written by Anna Mae Whittle (1989)
It says additional copies can be obtained from the author at:
Box 27, Henley, Missouri 65040
Hope this helps!

Sandy
Thank you for the info . I am checking this out to see if I can obtain a copy . Do you know if there is any Hackneys or McMillins in the book? Thanks again .

I have written the author to see if I can get a copy. Would you mind doing a look-up for me? Any information on Joseph and Polly or Charity Russell and their children. Joseph married a Charity after Polly's death.

Thank you, Janell

Hi, Janell

I looked thru the book (all 67 pages<g>)but only found Tom and Finis Russell, sons of Jim and Mary Russell, but no Joseph, Charity or Polly. The book, according to my Dad who grew up in Henley, is like a "walk down memory lane". It cites the founding, rise and near extinction of Henley.
It has a nice selection of pictures from the late 1800's to 1989 and is rich with the history of Henley. If you can't get a copy, let me know, we'll figure something out. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Sincerely,
Sandy

I have sent 3 letters and also visited Henley to find the book with no luck. I seen it one time and I know my grandfather in in it. George Carney Martin. His nick name was HEBE. Is there anyway you can copy the pages and mail them to me or e mail them so I can print them out. Thank You Danny Greenbrier Arkansas

I found a Dora Martin born April 3, 1884 in Miller Co., Mo who died July 27, 1959, in New Bloomfield, Callaway Co., MO and is buried at Spring Garden Cem., Miller Co. Her parents were Shelby and Martha Frances Thompson Martin. She had a brother named Everett. Shelby's death cert. can also be found on the Mo. SS Web site. His parents were Preston and Nancy Musick Martin.

Jasper McMillin married a Betty Hackney. I did a history on the McMillen/McMillin family. Descendants of Robert McMillen from Tennessee to Missouri. Let me know if this is your line.

Regarding the author of the Henley History Book, Anna Mae Whittle passed away several years ago and I don't know who got any extra copies that may have been left. You can find a copy of that book at the local library in Jefferson City, It is a good book. Is your grandfather buried in the Henley Cemetery? I was just wondering as our church takes care of that cemetery. Have a nice day. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you.

Thanks Ruthie
