I[.cItems Of Interest From Benchleye9.eef*eer.n3,5,Serenreeilsilecisfeksdl.s.fdedas.yrtyBy Mrs. Sam Rice We got a nice rain this weekend, and it lasted all day Monday. I’m sure it damaged cotton and maybe feed that was cut and not| housed, but it was certainly good on the grass. We got around 2V2 inches.Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Horn and Billy Don came down for the weekend, but the weather was so bad they didn’t get near as much done at their houses as they had hoped to. They will have two nicehouses near Adam’s store when! finished. They expect to* have them ready to rent in the near future.A letter from their daughter, Joyce, who is in college at Mar-| shall, says she is happy and well pleased. She is majoring in music. The best of luck to you, Joyce. I’m sure you’ll do excel-iient.Tommy Foyt of Mumford came home with Mrs. Rambo to begin the dancing classes in Bryan with Bert and Sammie Rambo, Billy and Gary Llghtsey and Charlie Clark. Tommy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Foyt of Mumford came by to pick him up. The children are enjoying the dancing lessons every Monday. Manning Smith is the teacher,Mr. and Mrs. Earl King of Bryan were out to see us Sat. Mrs. King reported that one of our cousins, Walter Anderson was very sick at the home of his sister, Mrs. Maggie Goodman of Sebastain. Today I received a card from Mrs. Goodman telling me he is in Brooks General Hospital, San Antonio. He is a veteran of World War I. We hope he will soon be well again. Walter’s parents were Simon Anderson and Emma Melton and he has many relatives in Robertson Co. He was born and reared near Wheelock. His mother and my mother were sisters. He also lived at Benchiey and attended his first school at Benchley.The Rev. A. E. Rambo was in Wheelock Sunday afternoon.Last week we received thebirth announcement of David DeWayne, born Sept. 14, 1957, to Mr. and Mrs. Coy Wayne Swin-ney of Cleveland. The young manweighed 7 lbs. Coy Wayne ts my♦nephew's stepson, and we love him very much and consider him our great nephew, and little David is the first great, greatnephewr. All the other great and great great ones are girls. Nine I believe in all. Hope we get to see him soon.Oh, yes, I received a letter from a William Henry of Dublin, Ireland today. It was very interesting. He doesn’t really know if we are of the same line, but his family has all four of the Henry brothers names, James, Robert, Hugh and William, plus some others and they originated from in or around Londonderry. He said he visited one of the old Henry cemeteries and sent me the names and dates of the three older graves. James Henry, born 1751—died Feb. 11, 1823; Robert Henry, born 1798—died 1868; and Margaret Henry, born 1810—died 1883.I hope to get more information from him later on, for the James Henry born in 1751 could be the father of the four Henry brothers who came . to Texas, as James Henry was born in northern Ireland, Sept. 12, 1798. His oldestchild, Robert Miller Henry, was born in South Carolina Nov. 17, 1823, and Robert Henry was born in Ireland March 7, 1801, and his oldest child was born in North Carolina May 19, 1821. He was Hugh Reed Henry, grandfather of the Henrys in Hearne.I do not know when Hugh Henry was born, but he was born in Ireland. He was married in Greene Co. Ala. in 1831. Their son, William (Black Bud) Henry was born March 21, 1834. I copied this date from his marker in Wheelock Cemetery and William, my great grandfather, was born in 1812 in Ireland and married inGreene Co., Ala. in 1831, and hisoldest son, my grandfatherJames Alexander Henry, wasbori12,hisgraisayfat!GDCarternuCcDmiVinFriitiv£ofendLycdauIVsonWawelt;Mr.Y
