NIXON HENLEY, Trustee of Monroe Township, was born in Randolph County, N.C.,
October 30, 1846, and is the second of the eight children of JOHN and
ASENATH (HADLEY) HENLEY, natives of North Carolina, and of English
extraction.  Nixon was reared to the farming business, but received a fair
education, which he improved until he was competent to teach, and that duty
he followed with satisfaction for thirteen years, farming during the summer
seasons, but abandoned the same after being elected Township Trustee.  April
16, 1869, he married ALIDA C., daughter of EVAN and MARY ANN HADLEY, which
union gave issue to five children--LENA, EVERETT EVAN, PHEBE A., SIBBIE and
RUTH ANGIE.  Mr. and Mrs. Henley are birthright members of the Society of
Friends, under the rules of which they were married.  Mr. Henley is a
practical farmer, and owns 160 acres, with good improvements, and furnished
with residence, barns, and containing fencing, orchards, and the like;  he
has also a stock of Poland China hogs, short-horn cattle, and long-wool
sheep, some of which are imported from Canada.  Mr. Henley is a straightout
Republican, and has been township Trustee for two terms.  He is likewise a
member of the I. O. O. F.
