A SHORT SKETCH OF THE LIVES OF
MR. AND MRS. THOMAS A. HENDERSON
Thomas A. Henderson was born in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, May 28, 1831, and died at his home in Scioto township, August 13, 1917.
Eliza J. Yerian was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, October 26, 1838 and died August 15, 1917.
This couple were united in marriage October 7, 1858.
To this union were born two sons and six daughters all of whom remain to mourn their double bereavement except sister Mary wife I. E. Lyons who preceded her parents to the Great Beyond, April 11, 1906.
There also survive them 16 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren.
One great grandchild little John Cyrus the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Cline of Athens, Ohio, died about three years ago. Sister Mary and little John Cyrus are the only deaths that have been in the family, during all these years.
Alexander Henderson, father of T. A. Henderson came to this county from Pennsylvania when Thomas A. was quite young, and at one time lived in a house that stood almost on the same spot where father and mother Henderson died.
Father Henderson followed farming and for twenty nine years he operated a threshing machine through the counties of Vinton, Jackson, and Ross.
Since the year 1887 he followed farming and stock raising.
About four months ago mother Henderson was taken sick. At one time the doctor gave her up and said that she was dying but by good nursing she rallied and was again able to help to wait on her husband a part of the time but she was failing fast.
They often talked about the end and wished that they might go together and in this their wish was granted, there being only thirty-five hours between their deaths and we laid them side by side in one grave on the lot that he had purchased in the Jacobs burying grounds for their last resting place.
He married on November 27, 1858, Jackson County, Ohio, to Eliza Jane Yerian.
