"Thursday afternoon of last week, a telegram was received in Wray announcing the death of Mrs. J. S. Hendrie at Long Beach, California. A letter received later stated that she died at 1:00 o'clock a. m. Thursday, Oct. 20, and that, while she had been quite sick the fore part of tiie week, she had been out of the house the day before and that her death came as a great surprise to the members of the family at Long Beach.
The deceased was well known in this community, Mr. and Mrs. Hendrie, having been among our earliest settlers. In the earlier days, they lived on the ranch west of town afterwards occupied by their son, Isaac. A number of years ago they moved to town and lived in their town property now occupied by Dr. Harry Cohn.
During the past year, with their son, Isaac, and family they moved to Long Beach, Calif., on account of Mr. Isaac Hendrie's health, he being a sufferer from hay fever.
The deceased was 78 years old on September 3rd, of this year and it was the occasion of a post card shower from her many friends here. Aunt Mary, as she was familiarly known here, was kindness personified and she was loved for her solicitude for the welfare of others. In 1900 the Hendries' celebrated their golden wedding and the event was one of the most elaborate of its kind ever celebrated in Wray. It was in attestation of the high esteem this couple were held by Wray people. Practically nothing as regards to the funeral or the disposition of the remains had been received by Wray friends up to the time of our going to press and the supposition is, that the funeral and burial has occurred at Long Beach.
Mrs. Hendrie has left two sons and four grandchildren besides her husband to mourn her loss as a wife and mother and many intimate friends and neighbors in Wray and elsewhere."

" My Dear Friend: You no doubt have been anxiously awaiting a letter from us but Oh, howhard It is to have to tell you that our darling loving mother has passed out of our home, closed the door never to return to us again in this world. The gloom that has settled over our pretty home In Long Beach Is so dense that I tind myself often wondering If It can l>e possible, that time can ever dispel It, or as months go by If a Tew of the rougher edges can possibly wear away. We miss mother in the morning when we come down, for we always anxiously inquired how she had rested. We miss her smiles and kind words all day. Then at night when there Is no sign or light wo miss her more than ever and dread the morning when we shall have to go about our duties without her cheerful countenance to help us through the day. Her corner in tlie sun parlor is vacant: even the passers by miss her pleasant smiles. Mother lias never seen a well day since her illness last spring. Dr. I’erce said she would never be well again and that we must be prepared for her deatli most any time as she had a serious valvular affectation of the heart and the many attacks of bronchitis had weakened it badly. Ike and myself could notice from day to day how she was falling, but poor father and Gusta kept thinking that she was getting better altho every morning it would seem she could not live thru the day. Her hard breathing spells became more frequent and more ditllcult. On Thursday she got up as usual for breakfast, but she ate very lightly and complained of being sick at the stomach but seemed no worse than she had lieen many times during the past several weeks. Mother went out to supper but ate lightly and we all noticed she was feeling badly but as 1 said before, she had those attacks so often and recovered from them that we thought she was no worse than usual. We retired at nine and 1 helped her get the emergency medicines arranged at her bedside. We wanted to stay up but she just laughed at us and said she would not sleep a wink if wo did. 1 had been coming down often after midnight to see how she was resting, so that night as usual at about one o'clock I wakened and ran down as usual and she had just wakened a few minutes before and was suffering terribly, seemed to be smothering. Father was asleep on the cot beside her; lie got up too. 1 hastily gave her a heart tablet, lit her asthmatic powder and she tried to inhale it, but all the time her breathing became more difficult. She looked at me so pitifully and said “Maud I can’t stand this much longer’’ I hastily bathed her in alcohol but noticed immediately that she was dying. I told father to sit down and hold mother for 1 knew she was dying but lie could not believe me and thought I was frightened. I ran to the hall and called loudly to the rest of the family then I rushed out to Mr. Shively’s and told them to phone for the doctor. Oil, the sorrow to think that she had to leave us without one word. Just a lew minutes, possibly not more than fifteen then all was over. I know that the loving deeds, pleasant words and forgiving spirit she possessed, served as stepping stones that led her into the very gates of Heaven without the long painful struggle through w hich so many have to pass before loosing their grasp on this world of sorrow. Harry came Sunday morning and Monday at two o’clock she was laid to by loving friends here in Long Beach’s beautiful Evergreen Cemetery. Father wanted her to be buried here as he said this would always be his home. Gusta mourns her death as none other could mourn and is so lonely. She will stay with us tills winter then visit Aunt Dine next summer. The Moral offerings w ere many and beautiful, several pieces came from the east. The Wray piece was beautiful, a large w reath set on a pedestal about four feet ***•“ many other pieces, some of them did not get here in time for the picture ; which was taken at one o'clock p. m. j 1 have tried to be explicit in this j letter but It is so difficult to write so 1 you can by stretch of imagination live with us for the present. Very lovingly, Maude D. Hendrie, 509 Orange Ave. Long Beach, Calif."

ISAAC AND MAUD
Hendrie, Isaac R. and Dakan, Maud married in Yuma County on April 19, 1893.
1908 Wray "Miss May Dakin, of Maryville, Missouri, is the guest of her sister, Mrs. I. R. Hendrie, west of town."

When a lad of sixteen, Isaac came to Colorado with his parents, who settled near Wray, 160 miles east of Denver. The young man lived at home and rode the range from 1886 until 1900, steadily acquiring, through his father's guidance, a thorough knowledge of agriculture and cattle raising.
Isaac R. Hendrie then purchased his father's land and continued to farm along the same lines as his father had pursued, until 1909, when he determined to push further west, and sold the acreage he had improved. He was a member of the Colorado Cattle Growers Association.
Settling for a while at Long Beach, Mr. Hendrie worked for the City Water Company there for five years, or until July 22, 1914, when he purchased seven acres on West Washington Street, Santa Ana. He set out four acres to apricots and the balance to walnuts, and soon had one of the trimmest small ranches to be seen any- where for miles around, made more valuable on account of the excellent water supply from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. Since purchasing this property Mr. Hendrie has established an extensive poultry business, with some 3,000 White Leghorn chickens. He built an incubator house, with two incubators of 500 capacity each, and also has the necessary brooders; he is a member of the Poultry Producers Association of Southern California.

On April 19, 1893, Mr. Hendrie was married to Miss Maude Dakan, the daughter of Riley and Emeline (Cahill) Dakan, born in Ohio and Kentucky, respectively, and early settlers of Marysville. Mo. In 1892 they came to Colorado, but later returned to their farm in Missouri, which they have now owned over fifty years. Mr. Dakan served as a soldier in a Missouri Regiment during the Civil War and is a prominent G. A. R. man.
Mr. Hendrie received a very thorough grammar school training at Glenwood, Iowa, while Mrs. Hendrie was equally fortunate in her training at Wesleyan College, Cameron, Mo., later teaching school in Colorado, and they have striven to give the best of educational advantages to their five children. The eldest, James R., is living at Oakland; Dorothy L. has become Mrs. W. L. Tubbs of Santa Ana; Mary E. lives at home and is a student at the Santa Ana high school; Harold is a pupil in the grammar school, and Walter B., the youngest.

July 1931 "In the shade of the palm, orange and walnut trees an attractive picnic table was spread on the lawn beside the spacious residence of I. R. Hendrie, Santa Ana, California.
About this gathered the former Yuma County residents, Ike, Maude and Harry Hendrie, Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Coston, Mr. and Mrs. Walter M. Ainslie and daughter, Margaret Agnes, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest L. Price, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Crenshaw, Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Gibos, Winifred Hitching Hellawell, Mr. and Mrs. Ray H. Snyder and Mrs. Viola Bell. Others present were George H. Sullivan, H. V. Holcomb and Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Underdown. This is the second annual gathering held July Fourth, at the Hendrie home in response to our gracious hosts invitation. We are bidden to so assemble annually to celebrate our natal day. The time passed merrily as we hauled tree branches from Dry Willow to build pavilions for Wray’s pioneer celebrations, dug the Republican River and built a few sod houses. Reminiscences, bridge, eating two meals and fireworks at night brought to a close a day blessed with perfect weather conditions in sunny southern California. The concensus of opinion of those present was, “There are just two kinds of folks, those who live here and, those who want to live here.” Greetings to all. —Mrs. Viola Bell."
