    • Notes for Ardella Hensley:
      per Barbara Deaton:
      Ardella worked at the old Bach Hospital. She was keeping company with a local fellow, Courtney/Red Hays. He was about 5 years older than Ardella. It seems he promised to marry her and backed out. At age 18, Ardella committed suicide by taking 5 tablets of an extremely deadly poison. She had gotten the tablets at the hospital. She lay sick and dying for about 3 weeks during which time she suffered horrific bouts of vomiting. The vomitus included bits and pieces of flesh. Courtney did not come around then nor later when she died.

      Ardella had a small box. It was about the size of our shoe boxes. She kept it tied and near her all the time. She cautioned everyone not to bother the box nor to look in it. No one did. Her mother Sarah looked after the box and, presumably, saw that it was buried with Ardella. This adds come credence to the belief she and been pregnant.
