Evanston, Illinois, just a short dis.
tancc from Chicago. At the time OF
her death her daughter Mrs. Belle

Mrs. Henderson came to Elko with
her family during the days when
lone dwelling scattered here and there
and an occasional tent dotted the
plain where now stands a prosperous
and substantial city. She was 4 pio.
nccT in every sense Of the word. The
animal OF romance, The OK, drew the
prairie schooner, from the seat Of
which Mrs. Henderson first caught
her glimpse of the broad cNpanscs Of
th" yIrilc west. The hardships of the
settler were hers. but staunchly did
she lend her incstimab!c aid TO her
husband then struggling for u foot
hold in the new land, until little by
little prosperity supplantch poverty
and the Henderson family became
one Of the best known and most sub
stantial ones in Nevada Here Mrs.
Henderson brought to the light of day
a happy, Industrious family. the mem
/ bcrs Of which without a single cNccp.
/ tion have carved distinctive inches for
/ themselves in the wall of life. Mrs.
! Henderson leaves surviving her four
/ sons and a daughter John, Charles
. Louis and Joseph and Mrs. Brown, the
latter being the only one Of her chill
drcn permitted by circuT stances to be
at her bedside when her loving spirit
was waited 10 the Most High. Her
sons John and Lou Henderson are di-
rcCtOrs and owners OF the Henderson
. Banking company. in which Mrs. Hen
/ derSon owned a considerable block Of
stock. while Charles y. Henderson
