TN) Wednesday, May 25, 1927: “Interesting News From Route Six---While in Madisonville yesterday, I learned of the recent deaths of three very dear friends, Mrs. Callie Tallent Lane, Mr. Tom Bayless and Esquire W.W. Hensley.” ---Georgia A. Stakely. “Local Items of Interest---Mr. W.W. Hensley, an aged and respected citizen of this county, died at his home Wednesday night” Madisonville Democrat, (Monroe Co. TN) Wednesday, June 8, 1927: “W.W. Hensley---The dark angel of death visited our home on Wednesday night, May 18, at 11 o’clock and called for its victim, our loving father. He was 66 years 1 month and 14 days old. It was sad indeed, to give him up, but God had called him and he could stay no longer. His place and vacant chair at home can never be filled. His life has been spent a faithful Christian and loyal to the work of the Master. Loved by everybody, a kind husband and loving father, always devoted to his home and family, lending a helping hand in time of need, a kind word with a smile for everybody. To know him was to love him. It is sad to look around home and find him gone, but it is sweet to know he’s at rest. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and eight children besides a host of relatives and friends. He will not only be missed at home, but throughout the community, but we know that our loss is Heaven’s gain.” ---One Who Loved Him.
