- Obituary read: "After many long weeks of suffering, Mrs. A. N. Hendrix passed away Tuesday evening at her country home, three miles east of this city. For more than a year she had been in very poor health, and for thirteen weeks before her death, she could not leave the bed. Everything known to medical science was enlisted in her fight for life, and she was given every comfort that a loving husband and children could administer, but her time had come, and death relieved her of her suffering.
She was born near Newtown, in this county, on October 23, 1853 and lived her entire life in this county. She was 56 years, 7 months, and 8 days of age when she died. She was married to A. N. Hendrix, one of the substantial farmers of the county on November 11, 1874, and four children were born to them, all of whom survive her. They are, Mrs. Jones Yerkes, of Wabash Township, Mrs. Ross DeHaven and Mrs. Myron Gardner, both of whom reside on farms east of this city, and Guy, the only son who lives at home.
Mrs. Hendrix was a most estimable and excellent woman. She was loved by all who knew her. Before sickness came upon her, she was very active in church and social circles. She was a consistent Christian woman, and practiced the teaching of Christianity in all her daily life. Her loss is keenly felt, and the sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved husband and children.
