"Mary Edna Henley, a daughter of Wm. P. and Margaret McCloud, was born in Springfield, Ill., December 19, 1846, and departed this life at her home in Humphreys, Mo., Jan. 25th, 1944, age 97 years, 1 month and 6 days. She was united in marriage to Bernard M. Henley on Jan. 9, 1870. To this union were born nine children: Charles J. Henley of Ness City, Kans.; Calvin M. Henley, George J. Henley and Mrs. Martha Ellen Price of Humphreys; John Robert Henley of Milan, Missouri; Mrs. Chrissie C. Wilhite of Portland, Oregon; Mrs. Louzana Humphreys of Saskateen, Sask.; and two children who preceded her in death, Mrs. Jennie Myrtle West and Edna Loretta Henley. Her husband, Bernard M. Henley, preceded her in death April 29, 1925.

The surviving children were all with her at the time of her passing except Charles J. and Calvin M. Henley.

She leaves to mourn besides her children, 17 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren and many other relatives and friends.

The minister was the Rev. Kenneth Tipton, a grand-nephew, of Hardin, Mo. The burial was beside her husband in the Humphreys Cemetery.

Aunt Ed, as she was known by her many friends, was a member of the Christian church. She was always a loving and faithful mother in her home and an untiring aid in sickness in her community. The number of instances in which she attended births in her community in the years past were so many that she was constantly called upon by applicants in the past few years for birth certificates, for her signature as having attended their births.

In the active years of her life, her presence in the sick room brought rays of sunshine and hope to those in serious sickness, for she understood their sufferings and in her kindly and motherly way did that which she knew was best to bring them back to health again."
