| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ May 12, 1939, p. 1 FUNERAL HELD FOR EIJAH T. HENSON Funeral services were held last Sunday at the Wickenburg chapel for Elijah T. Henson, 50, who was burned to death Friday when his old model sedan left the highway 20 miles north of Morristown fell down a steep 300-foot grade, and caught fire. Ten gallons of gasoline he was carrying in the car in two cans is believed to have converted it into a roaring fire moments after it left the Castle Hot Springs road on a sharp curve, probably about 10:30 Friday night. The car and body were discovered about 4 p. m. Sunday by L. E. Garnett, a goat rancher, en route to Morristown, who notified authorities. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. M. C. Albred, Rogers, Okla.
