The services were conducted by Rev. J.B. Ansley of Springfield. William S. Hankins was a son of the late Thomas Hankins and was born Corsicana August 26, 1865. He was a life-long citizen of this county. He had a good memory and knew more Barry county history during the pass sixty years than most any other man in the county. The greater part of his life had been spent in the community about Cassville. Mr. Hankins was a public spirited citizen and a man of earnest religious convictions. For twenty-five years he served a school board member, and for a number of years had been a commissioner of the Flat Creek township special road district. He is survived by his wife and two sons, Marshall and Luther; and one daughter, Mrs. James Cooper, all of this community; and one brother, Judge M. M. Hankins of Texas. |
