Death of Mrs. J.D. Hendricks

January 13th, just as the sun was peeping over the eastern horizon and all the 
world seemed bright and gay a cloud hovered over the home of Mr. J.D. Hendricks 
and the angel of death entered and gently bore away the spirit of beloved wife, 
Mrs. Sallie E. Hendricks.  She was born January 21st, 1860 and had been married 
about 29 years.

Before her marriage she was Miss Sallie E. Foster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Samuel Foster.  About two weeks before her death she had measles and had 
recovered they thought, but on the 10th she grew worse and suffered intensely 
until four hours before she died when she fell into a deep sleep and could 
never be awakened.  She was a good Christian woman, had been a member of the 
Methodist church since her girlhood.  She had an unusually kind gently 
disposition and her husband and children were perfectly devoted to her and all 
who knew her loved her.

Weep not fond husband and children, we know it is hard to give her up, we know 
you will miss her more than word’s can tell and there is a vacant place in your 
home and hearts that can never be filled, but it is such consolation to know 
that she is safe with Jesus.  We know not why God thus afflicts us, but He 
says, “whom he loveth he chasteneth.”  You are the husband and children of one 
of God’s brightest and sweetest angels.  She stands on the other shore with 
outstretched arms beaconing you to come where all is peace and love.

One Who Loved Her
