General Notes: Husband - Harvey Henderson
His education\emdash which was a limited one\emdash was obtained principally in the schools of Dunbar township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. He was a republican in his political faith, but he never sought or held a public office. In religion he was a Methodist.
He was a farmer, stock and real estate broker, and bought and sold a great deal of land in Fayette County.
When he began life for himself he owned but fifty-nine acres of inferior land, which was willed to him by his father. Some seven or eight years afterward he was married. With strict attention to business, he amassed sufficient wealth to purchase nearly 400 acres of good farming land, situated in Franklin and Dunbar townships. He also purchased for each of his five boys 160 acres of fine farming land in Knox and Warren counties, Illinois. For one lot he paid $10,000, for another $9,000, and for the other three $8,700 each. Besides this he owned 240 acres in one tract in Knox county, Illinois, crossed by the Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louis Railroad, which cost him $19,325. He also owns forty acres of land in Warren county, Illinois, valued at $4,000. All of this western land was underlaid by a seven-foot vein of bituminous coal.
