He is survived by two brothers, P. J. Hensley of Madera and G. W. Hensley of Fresno. Funeral services will be held at 11 o'clock Friday morning from the Jay chapel. Rev. Enoch Etland will conduct the services. Burial will be in the old Hensley cemetery near Hensley bridge. Mr. Hensley was known as Uncle Abe to everyone who knew him. He was an interesting character with many stories to tell of early Madera county history, skirmishes with the Indians and his own interesting experiences. Mr. Hensley, a native of Missouri, came to California with his parents in 1853 in a covered wagon when he was between five and six years of age. ' They settled at first in the northern part of the state, later following the foothills south to settle near Millerton. Their home at Millerton was washed away by an early flood and later they moved farther hack from the river and settled on what is now known as the old Hensley place about 17 miles east of Madera. The original Hensley home still stands on this place. Mr. Hensley studied and attended college to fit himself for the ministry, and in addition to his mining activity and cattle raising acted as a Methodist relief minister and a traveling missionary. It Is believed that ledgers taken from the old Savage store are still among his possessions. The cemetery in which he is to be buried is but a short distance above the old Hensley home. His mother was the first of the family to occupy this old burial ground He had lived 77 years in California and 69 years in Madera county. (Please note, Madera County did not break off from Fresno County until 1893, so he lived in the same homestead on the Fresno RIver for 69 years, but in Madera County for only 37 years.) All remains from the original Hensley cemetery on the Fresno River were moved before the lake was filled.
