Herron - Anna Hendricks
Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal, Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana, March 9, 1900 p 4
With the sadness which comes to every heart in the time of death we are called upon to write of the death of Mrs. Adrian Herron (sic - Anna wife of Andrew Herron). Mrs. Herron was born in Wayne Twp, April 27, 1844 and died Saturday evening, March 3, 1900. She was married to Andrew Herron Dec 15, 1864 and to this union was born two sons and two daughters all of whom are left with their father to mourn her loss. This mother and wife they loved so well was a woman of goodness itself. The people in this neighborhood in which she has lived for over 30 years, speak of her with words of praise only, not because she has passed from us but because they loved her for her goodness and kindness to all. A gloom is cast over the entire community but her friends find consolation in the thought that she did not fear death. She was sick but one short week and in that time all that loving hands and medical aid could do was done for her. We extend our deepest sympathy to the broken hearted husband and children, for as a grief stricken son cried when she was dying, " a boy's friend is his mother." Interment took place Monday at he Waynetown cemetery. The relatives of the departed desire to thank the neighbors for their kindess which they appreciated so much and also thank the singers which were FA Dennis, Mr. and Mrs. Wash Titus and Bess Smyth, all of Alamo. -- kbz
