DIED-At his residence, in Harrisville,
Dec. 80, 1880, Alexander Henderson, in
the S4th year of his age.
Deceased was born in Washington CO.,
Pa, in the 1897, where he lived with his
parents until about the year 1915, when
he and his father came to Harrison
county, Ohio. for the purpose of improv-
ing farm which they had purchased.
After a great deal of hard labor in way
of clearing and building, they removed
to it from their former home. In the
year 1919 he was married to Hannah
Hawthorn, who still survives him.
About the year 1885 they removed upon
farm in Wheeling township, Belmont
county, on which he lived until about II
years ago, at which time he left the
farm, and lived with his son, Capt. Jas
Henderson, about 2 years. He then
bought property in the town of Harris
vile, to which he removed, to live a re.
tired life. He was for nearly 40 years q

On Saturday morning the voice of
Mrs. Davis (colore6 was heard making
the air ring, for several squares, with
her vociferous cries of fire. fire! fire!
issuing from Mr residence over Schuma-
ker's meat shop. Several, with buckets
of water, made their way hurriedly up
the stairway, only to find Emma dancing
war jig and patting "juber'' on that
part of her attire that would naturally
be located between her and chair when
sitting. Some one, well up to fires in a
small way, grabbed up some of the
drapery of her couch, wrapped it careful
ly but hurriedly about her, and the show
was over. Emma was somewhat scOrch-
ed, dreadfully scared, and when once she
gets these sores healed, it will be long
time before she backs up to a hot fire
again.
