Abraham Hendricks came here from Iowa in 1875. He was elected county surveyor in 1877 and held the office of Justice of the peace for a good many years. His intregrity and sound business sense commended him most favorably to his neighbors and made him a leader in his township. Soon after coming to Lenora he oput in a stock of general merchandise in a log store room built for a man from Cawker City, who expected to come there in the fall of 1874 but after the grasshoppers made their appesarance he failed to come so Mr. Hendricks put in a stock and became a member of the town board. This was the first store started in Lenora, in fact outside of Norton and Leota.
