Read More	Hardin County Iowa Past and Present, 1911 MORGAN HENSLEY Among the thriving agriculturists and stock men of Hardin county Morgan Hensley has been especially conspicuous for many years. Few men of his experience have achieved such marked results, none occupy a more prominent place in the confidence and esteem of his fellow men, and it is safe to presume that his example and influence had done as much to promote the general interests of the locality as any other agency in the vicinity of Iowa Falls, where he maintains his beautiful home. Mr. Hensley was born in Jeffersonville, Fayette county, Ohio, November 1, 1850. He is the son of J. J. and Martha J. (Popejoy) Hensley. Her father, Edward Popejoy, was born in Scotland and her mother, Martha (Maguire) Popejoy , was born in Ireland. In 1855, when the subject was five years old, the family came to Hardin county, Iowa, and settled a little north of Alden. The country looked so rough that three years later the father decided to move near Des Moines, where he bought a farm and resided there the rest of his life, becoming very comfortably established and well known, highly respected by all. Just after the close of the Civil War, the son Morgan, of this review, came to live with his mother's brother, J. I. Popejoy, one of the early residents of this part of Iowa, located about eleven miles northwest of Iowa Falls, his farm being divided by the county line, part in Hardin and part in Franklin county. He was a prominent man, a successful farmer and handled stock extensively. The subject lived with him until 1875. He was then employed by L. F. Wisner as foreman of his large farm then comprising about four thousand and four hundred acres. He remained with Mr. Wisner about four years, overseeing the whole farm, hiring help, attending to rents and managing the hands. On September 23, 1876 Mr. Hensley was married, about a year afer going to the Wisner estate, to Mary E. Caraway, of Alden. She is the daughter of Robert and Martha Caraway. After leaving the Wisner farm, Mr. Hensley began buying and shipping live stock, which he continued until 1893. In the spring of that year he moved onto a farm which they owned, consisting of two hundred and forty acres, three miles north of Iowa Falls, and he lived there until 1906, then moved back into Iowa Falls, where he now resides, owning twenty acres of very valuable land on which stands a modern, commodious and attractive residence, at the northwest edge of town. He still continues dealing in live stock, buying and selling more live stock than any other man in the northern part of Hardin county, having taken in and paid out more money in that line than any other man in this part of the county, and, being a excellent judge of all kinds of stock, he has met with almost uniform success. He came from a family of stock men on both sides of the house. Politically, Mr. Hensley is a Republican and has been active in party affairs for some time. He was assessor of his township for four years while on the farm, and resigned from the third term when he moved back to Iowa Falls the last time. Three children constitute Mr. Hensley's family, namely: Lyman F., who married Tillie Smallridge, of Iowa Falls, is fireman on the Short Line railroad and lives at Des Moines; Morgan W., who married Maud A. Santee, a daughter of Robert Santee and a native of Pennsylvania, lives at Rowan, Iowa, on a stock farm; he and his wife have three children, Estell, Burmah and Murl. Ina Elizabeth Hensley married James K. Santee, brother of Morgan's wife. They live at Exira, Iowa, on a large stock farm, and have three children, two sons and a daughter, Caroline, Laverne and Kenneth. Fraternally, Mr. Hensley has been a Mason for many years, belonging to Lodge No.192 at Iowa Falls, he have been among the earliest members here. His wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Hensley's first wife died on January 1, 1877, and in November, 1879, he married Carrie Slocum, daughter of J. W. and Carrie (Wood) Slocum, and the above named children were born of this marriage. The wife and mother passed away in September, 1889, and on January 21, 1892, Mr. Hensley was united in marriage with Mrs. Eleanor Clark, daughter of James and Mary (Savage) Roache. He father was born in England and Mrs. Hensley was born near Montreal, Canada. She was the widow of Levi Clark, who died of disabilities incurred during his service in the Civil war. Personally, Mr. Hensley is an obliging, pleasant gentleman, industrious and everybody speaks in the best terms of him.
