McHenry and Amanda (Mills) McHenry, was born May 2, 1909, in Bartlett Township, Shannon County, Missouri. He departed this life Saturday, August 28, 1982, at 9:00 p.m. in West Plains Memorial Hospital at the age of 73 years, 3 months, and 26 days. He had a good boyhood on the farm where he was born, which has been in the family over 125 years. He went to Woodland School all eight grades, with the late Mr. Chester Spencer for his teacher. He attended Birch Tree High School and was a well-read man. On December 13, 1928 he and Sarah Eva Donahue were united in Holy Matrimony at Eminence. Their home was blessed with three children: Robert (Bob) McHenry, Thelma Lou Rutledge, and William (Bill Don) McHenry. His hearst was broken when he lost his daughter, Thelma Lou, on June 5, 1977. Others preceding him in death were his parents, and infant brother, a sister, Bernice Renegar, and a brother-in-law, Luther Connelly. Those left to mourn his passing are his loving wife, Eva, his son, Bob, and wife, Sally, of Independence, his son, Bill Don, and wire, Marie, of Hazelwood, a son-in-law, Earl Rutledge, of Birch Tree, one sister, Bertha Connelly, of St. Charles, a brother-in-law, Wes Renegar, of Miami, Oklahoma, seven grandchildren, six great grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, and a host of other relatives and friends who loved him dearly. He accepted Christ as his own personal Saviour and was a faithful member of the United Methodist Church of Birch Tree. He and Eva attended there regularly. His deep faith carried him through his suffering to victory. Frank was a tender hearted person, kind and compassionate, loving his family deeply. He was a good husband, a loving father, and a wonderful grandfather. In his and Eva's scrapbook, we found where he had written: "We shall pass through this world but once, therefore, any good I can do, or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again." Frank carried this thought out by being a friend to many people. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Frank retired a few years ago from employment with the City of Birch Tree. He enjoyed nature to the fullest and was a fine gardener, sharing produce with many. He truly believed, "This is our Father's world!" Services were held at the Methodist Church in Birch Tree, August 31, 1982 at 1:00 p.m. Those officiating were Rev. Bill Ogden, Rev. Jim Kabler and Dr. K.J. O'Banion. Robert, Joe, Junior DePriest, Vera Mae Hitt and Colleen Detwiler, with Terry Morrow at the piano, sang, "Precious Memories", "Beyond the Sunset", and "Oh Happy Day". Pallbearers were Clinton Sanders, Glen Bockman, Butch Myers, Ruel Thompson, Leroy Powell and Bill Reed. Interment was in Oak Forest Cemetery under the direction of Duncan Funeral Home.
