General Notes: Findagrave has birthdate as 5/27/1827 (tombstone too old to read date) and yet obit says 6/22/1829 findagrave: Charleston, MO Newspaper: Quoting from Mary Eliza Crane Hendrix Obituary: It is with sadness we are called upon to chronicle the death of Mrs. Mary Eliza Hendrix, who passed away Nov. 19, 1897, at the home of her son, James Hendrix, in Cedar Bluff township Ripley Co., this state. Sister Hendrix was born June 22nd 1829, in the state of Pennsylvania, making her a little over 68 years of age at the time of her death, at the age of 8 years she was brought by her parents to Tennessee, where they lived until 1868. Her maiden name was Mary Eliza Crane. She was united in marriage to William M. Hendrix, March 15, 1849, and by this union 8 children were born to them. They moved to Kentucky in 1868 and again to Missouri in 1882. 3 Produced by Legacy Descendants of Josiah M. CRANE She was converted very young and early attached herself to the Methodist church, living in that church for over 54 years. Her husband was called to his reward in 1890 and she was left to run the rest of her course alone. The life was a standing proof of the keeping power of the Son of God. She was esteemed and loved very highly by all who knew her, and although a sufferer for the last few years of her life, she tried to bear it with Christian fortitude. We do not feel called upon to weep over her departure for she has flown beyond pain and sorrow, to the haven of rest. Her grasp of her duty to God and man was not speculation, but real. She found her duty to her family and her neighbor by close communion with her God. Of her abundant entrance above, she felt secure and was ready and waiting for the summons from on high. Her children have lost their dearest and best earthly friend, but she has gained eternity.
