Added by Marvin Loyd Welborn, grandson.
Alice E. Henley (Smith), per phone conversation on 990404, tells me Otis is buried in Truman, Ark. The body was moved back to Ark from Mich. Buried next to some Children.

Alice tells me there was a younger sister to her, died very young, about 1 yr old, and buried in Truman, Arkansas.

William Otis HENLEY moved to the Truman, Arkansas 1913 - 1929. This is where Alice Elmira HENLEY met and married Henry Loyd SMITH. Alice states that she was six weeks old when the HENLEY family move to ARK. The HENLEY's moved from either McCracken County or Ballard County, KY. to Hamletsburg, IL, where he worked on the farm of John WOOLDRIDGE. This is where he met and married Nellie Mary WOOLDRIDGE. William. O. HENLEY had a brother who stayed in Bandana (Ballard) KY., where he owned and operated the J.A.Henley Store. Alice (HENLEY) SMITH told me that William Otis HENLEY and family left Paducah, KY when she was about 6 weeks old. That would have to be September or October 1910. They moved to Hamletsburg, Illinois (the home of Nellie Mary (WOOLDRIDGE) HENLEY's family). Alice claims to have gone to school in Illinois, which means that the HENLEY family resided there several years.
