Thomas David, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Henson, was born October 6, 1888 and died January 20, 1906 aged seventeen years, three months and seventeen days. His was indeed a beautiful young life. Tommie, as his friends loved to call him, was in many respects a model home boy, truthful, kind and industrious, never so tired but that he was ready to help father of mother. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. I.M. Phillips at Shady Grove church, after which the remains were laid to rest to await the resurrection morn. A Friend.
