RECOLLECTIONS:
"They all (Henthorns and Parks) lived in Kansas. Daddy and Mother went to Okeene, OK soon after being married. There Daddy bought a 160 acre farm for $50 from a man who had been in "The Run" during the opening of the Cherokee Strip (Indian) for settlement. For some reason after making the "run" and staking out the claim - the man didn't want the farm. We 4 kids were born there - but we moved to Texas when I was 4 - and on to Calif. when I was 11 and here we are still." (Quote from letter to Gary Henthorn family from his Aunt Mae (Henthorn) Orr, 11 Nov 1982.)

July 11, 1951, Tuesday eve at home
by H.U. Henthorn
Soon I shall stand on the bank of the river of life,
And can hear the boatsmans oar
And can see the gleam of that city so high
That stands on eternities shore
Soon I'll be at home in that city of gold
Where my friends have all gone, I'm told
Where Jesus now sits at the Fathers right hand
In that land where we never grow old
The victory's I win in this world filled with sin
With the pleasures and sorrows and cares
Will cause me to shine in that mansion above
That Jesus has gone to prepare
I'll fight a good fight. I'll finish my course
Ore life's rough rugged way
In the evening of life as the shadows grow dark
There is the dawn of eternities day.
by H. Henthorn
When in sin and sorrow roving
And I did not know his grace
Never knew how Jesus loved me
For I could not see his face
When I felt that sin and sorrow
Pressing down upon my soul
Then I cried, Oh Jesus save me
And his blood has made me whole.
Now I know how Jesus loves me
Why he gave his life for me
Why he suffered in the garden
Why he died on Calvary.
