Narrative
From the Deepwater World:
Twin girls were born to Dr. and Mrs. E. H. Henry last Thursday, and it was thought for a time that Deepwater was going to lose Grandpa Goodwin. He came up missing and the last we saw of him he was headed north with his hat in his hand, going at a two by four gait to break the news to Grandma. The Dr. was able to get down town Friday morning and received the congratulations of his friends. The little ladies weighed 8 1/4 lbs each.

Narrative
Margaret Elizabeth (Bess or Bessie) Goodwin Henry was born in or near Edina Mo. June 29 1875. Her family lived there for awhile and then moved to Deepwater Mo. She attended school both in Edina and Deepwater, graduating in Deepwater. The family then moved back to Edina. She and E.H. Henry were engaged at the time and were married in Edina Sept. 9 1896. They lived in Deepwater until Nov. 1928 when E. H. Henry retired and they moved to Mission Texas where they owned Citrus orchards and were in business with her brother Marvin Goodwin in land development.
Bess Henry was very active in the Woman's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church. They both taught Sunday School classes as long as I can remember. She taught the Women's Bible Class and he taught the High School age boys.
Bess Henry's father was a Methodist minister, but when she married he told her since E. H. Henry was already established in the Presbyterian Chruch, he would not object if she joined the church of his choice.
Bess, married Dr. E. H. Henry as soon as he had finished dental college and started practicing in Deepwater.
When my mother (Bess) was a small child in north Mo. their house burned. Grandpa hitched the horses to the wagon and when he returned he had a wagon load of supplies and furniture that the community had given him. He would always end this story with "The Lord will provide."
Bess Henry passed away March 17 1964 at the age of 89. - Ruth Henry West
