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."
