She was at one time post mistress of the Clifford post office and was active in the organization of the Clifford school district. EULOGY (A Eulogy to my friend, Mrs. T. J. Hensley, dedicated to her grandchildren, some of whom are mine.) A lady has passed to her reward. As she lay in her casket, her beautiful face portrayed the worthwhile things of life in which she believed She was a friend to the friendless, a mother to the motherless, a neighbor with limitless boundaries, who never shirked a task. A pioneer trail-blazer who never compromised with evil, a builder of schools and churches, faithful to their trust and care. A Nazarene who walked and talked with a lowly Nazarene who blazed trails many centuries ago. A grandmother, who at the age of seventy-nine, after doing the family laundry, walked over two miles, facing a snow blizzard to reach her home, because small grandchildren awaited her ministering hands. Truly, a lady has passed our way. - Mrs. R. B. Jones, Reydon, Okla.
