James and Nancy Hennesy’s House
I took this photo from Jeff Hennesy’s website. The house is identified as being the old home of James and Nancy Caroline Hennesy. However, Ethel Hennesy identified this photo as being of their house that was destroyed by a tornado, she said, in 1909-1910, and Curtis Hennesy said instead it was in 1912. The first…

James Leon stands behind the counter with Della Nobles Hennesy,…
