General Notes: Husband - William Miller Henderson

---

He worked at milling and farming all his life.

He died at his residence, "Oakland" farm, a short distance east of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. He spent the early part of his life in Perry County, and with other Perry County men, under the command of Capt. John Creigh, served for a short time in the War of 1812. He subsequently returned to Cumberland County, and soon attained a position of influence and prominence in the community. In connection with his brother-in-law, Richard Parker, under the firm name of Henderson & Parker, he established a successful milling and distilling business. He was one of the original subscribers to the Cumberland Valley Railroad, and for a number of years a member of the Board of Directors. He died at the advanced age of almost ninety-two years,-quoting from an obituary notice in the Carlisle Herald-"running back to the days of Washington his life increased and declined through the stormy scenes and great conflicts which attended the 'Building of the Nation.' Through them all he was a representative man and an American citizen in the broadest meaning of the term."
