HENNING, CAROLINE
(15 Jul 1920, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Death has again visited our community and taken from among us one of our
most respected citizens and influential church members in the person of
Mrs. A. L. Henning.
She was born July 3rd, 1848, in Texas, but came to this state while young.
 She was married to A. L. Henning Dec. 28, 1875.  To this union seven
children were born, three sons and four daughters, all of whom lived to
maturity.  Two sons and two daughters survive, Mrs. Callie Siddle of
Burkburnett and Mrs. Mattie Siglin of Cedar Falls, Iowa, Jim Henning of
Cheyenne and T. H. Henning of Doxey, with whom she made her home at the
old home place.
She professed faith in Christ and joined the Presbyterian church early in
life and lived a faithful and consistent christian until death July 9,
1920, when she fell asleep in Jesus.
Knowing her life and devotion as I do I am assured of the fact that the
world is better by reason of her life and her faith in Him who "doeth all
things well."
The funeral services were conducted at the home by Rev. Williams and her
body laid to rest in the Doxey cemetery to await the final resurrection
day.
The grace of God sustain and comfort the bereaved ones.  A Friend.
