>>TUESDAY, 19 JULY 1864<<
PERSONAL - Robert J. HENDERSON, Esq., aged 32 years, Deputy Secretary of State, died on typhoid fever at Sacramento, at 12m., on Saturday last. Deceased was a native of Dunshaughlin, Ireland, whence he emigrated to New Jersey in 1851, and thence to this State in 1854, taking up a permanent residence in El Dorado, which county he represented in the Assembly in 1861. Those who have known him best love him most. With a well cultivated mind he united a warm and generous nature and strict principles of integrity. He leaves not a relative in America, but many hundreds of loving friends, some of whom faithfully watched over him in his last illness and softened the bed of death. He was buried July 17th, in the Legislative Cemetery near the Capital, the funeral being largely attended. Should this notice ever reach any of Mr. HENDERSON's relatives or friends in his native land, it will be some consolation for their loss to know that in his whole illness he had the constant attention of devoted friends, and all that the best medical skill of Sacramento could contribute toward his recovery.
