"Mrs. Cordelia Henson died at the age of 59 years and Mrs. Ellen Galloway died at the age of 68 years.
"God's officer came to these good homes and claimed two of Barren county's best Christian women. They loved their God, home and country.
"Mrs. Henson's own beautiful flowers were used as a token of love to her husband and friends and Mrs. Galloway likewise scat[t]ered flowers along the pathway of her friends.
"Well do we remember one time Mrs. Galloway pinned a red rose on a friend and said, "This is a [t]oken of love."
"To know these two women was to love them, and one's own life was bettered by having know[n] them and we commend those who have lost such good friends to the God of all Comfort and may His Grace be ever near unto you in your lonliness.
"They leave behind, besides their husbands, five sisters and three brothers: Mrs. M. J. Edwards, Randolph; Mrs. Leres Tomlin, Wisdom; Mrs. J. O. Piper, who lives in the west[e]rn part of Kentucky, Mrs. J. A. Browning, Glasgow; Mrs. E. . Smith; Mr. J. A. Runyon, Glasgow; Mr. Alford Runyon and Mr. Be Runyon of Illinois."
