HENSON, DOROTHY LOUISE
(29 Jun 1928, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Dorothy Louise Henson, daughter of Mr. K. T. Henson, age 14 years, 8
months and 5 days, died at an Elk City hospital on last Friday, June 22,
after an illness of seven weeks.
Dorothy was taken suddenly ill while at school and was taken to the
hospital and underwent an operation on the day following and although her
condition was very critical from the beginning of her illness, for a few
days she seemed better, and everyone was very hopeful for her recovery. 
She had the best of care and nursing and was carefully watched over by
loved ones, and although she had a strong constitution and fought a brave
battle for seven long weeks, she continued to grow worse till death
relieved her sufferings.
Dorothy was a beautiful girl and possessed a sweet disposition.  She was
loved by all who knew her and will be sadly missed by relatives and
friends.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist Church Sunday, Rev. A. B.
Carson, former pastor of the church here and an old friend and neighbor of
the Henson family, preached the funeral and made a comforting and
appropriate talk.
The pall bearers were friends of Mr. Henson, while the floral offering
which were beautiful were borne by school mates and chums of Dorothy.  One
of the largest crowds ever assembled at a funeral here were in attendance.
Dorothy leaves her father, Mr. K. T. Henson, three sisters, Marie,
Gertrude and Amy Beth, two brothers, Earnest and Junior, and a devoted
step-mother and a large number of other relatives who are broken hearted
to have their loved one, so full of promise for a bright future, taken
from them so suddenly.
Interment was made in the Carter cemetery by the side of her mother who
died when Dorothy was quite small.
