Henderson County Texas
Welcome to the Henderson County TXGenWeb site. My name is Laura Gregory Roberts. I am the Volunteer County Coordinator for Henderson County, Angela Shumate Hartman, co-coordinator. We hope that with the help of the fine folks of the county, we will be able to make this a site that helps all that visit.
Apr-Jun 1929 Athens Weekly Review Volume 47 of 161 Page 103-104 World War I Veterans Below we give a list of our boys from this county who were killed or died in the World War, as compiled by the Henderson County Woman's Club. Committee composed of Mesdames Jesse Bishop, W. B. Smith, Davis, Miss Robinson and others. Of the twenty six boys from this county who lost their lives during the world war only four were killed in action. Two died on foreign soil, one died of wounds received in action, while the others died of sickness or disease in cantonments: The Woman's Club desires a life record of all these boys because it was for them that the local library was instituted as a memorial.
