JOHN HENDERSON, son of TYREE and SARAH HENDERSON, was born in Decatur County, Iowa, December 3l, l869, and died at his home east of Davis City, Iowa, March 6, l925; being at the time of his death, 55 years, 2 months and 5 days. He was united in marriage to MISS ALICE GRAHAM at Davis City, Iowa, March l8, l888. To this union were born four children: ARTIE HENDERSON, Pleasanton, Iowa; BERTHA SPARGER, Davis City, Iowa; EFFA, deceased; and SADA HAMILTON, of Hydro, Oklahoma.
The deceased became much interested in the services conducted at Providence Church last November, while he did not unite with any church, but said if the Lord willing it was his intention to unite with the church and be baptized, but his health did not permit. He had been in poor health for several years and medical skill could not effect a cure. He was always patient and cheerful through his suffering. He has always lived around Davis City and Pleasanton, and has many friends. He was always good natured and had a pleasant word for everyone. He was a good husband, a kind father and good neighbor. He leaves to mourn his going, a wife, three children, an aged mother, one brother, two sisters and ten grandchildren, and a number of other relatives and friends. The death of a little grandson of MR. HENDERSON occurred just a few hours before his own demise.
