Marion's WWI draft registration and various census
records all state that he was born in Oklahoma, but
be aware that his death certificate specifically stated
that he was born in Pottsboro, Texas. His draft card
also stated that he had blue eyes and "light" hair.

Married:
==============================================
1) Viola Mae Sloan (m 1915)
2) Widow Mary Emily Howard (m 1927)
... she had a son named Lindy Ray Howard

Children:
==============================================
Elba Dayton Henderson
Ira Alonzo Henderson
Lindy Ray Henderson (adopted/step)
Baby Girl Henderson (only lived a day)
Charles Emory Henderson
Marian Louise (Henderson) Farmer
Mary Jean (Henderson) Goode

Notice that while Mary Emily's obituary claims she
married Marion on 11 Apr 1927, the census shows
that they married sometime after 1930:
==============================================
1930: North Lathram, Caddo, OK (23 Apr 1930)
Marion widowed (Elba and Ira)

1930: Pottsboro, Grayson, TX (03 Apr 1930)
