earlier. James Hemby m 8 Dec 1915 in Franklin Co. MS. This date
and connection is from family knowledge as Fr.Co. was not keeping a
record of their marriages at this time. Sarah was born 1800 in a
camp on the Tombigbee River in AL while her parents were enroute to
MS. See Hemby (1987) by Ezell. After the War Hemby purchased a
farm in Fr.Co. MS. He joined the Antioch Church, was deacon in
1872, ordained 1872. Died 28 Jan 1897. He opera ted an ox-wagon
line and as teenages, his sons drove the wagons and hauled cotton,
etc. from Meadville to Natchez, MS. Two of Dennis Hemby's sons,
Charlie and John P. Hemby, were Baptist preachers. Lenorah Cain
Hemby died one week before her son Charlie Hemby, both of yellow
fever. A published newspaper clipping at her death states:
"daughter of Rev. James Cain, a pioneer Baptist preacher in Fr.Co.

was in the first graduating class of Nursing at Charity Hospital,
Natchez, MS. She was turned down as a nurse in WWlI because of
mastoid trouble for which she eventually had to be operated. She
was nurse at a cloth mill in Inman, S.C. where she pioneered many
of the community health techniques used today. She made a
profession of her work as a nurse. Though I saw her very seldom, I
was very impressed by her and she influenced my life very much.
Shortly before she died, a nurse told me there was nothing wrong
with May other than old age except she could not see, or hear. She
had a very sharp mind.
