Son of John and Rachel Parman Henderson.
JOSEPH HENDERSON, Sr., farmer, Section 26, P. O. Monrovia; is a native of Tennessee, and was born in Cocke County, May 22, 1803; was reared and educated in Green County, Tenn. In 1831, came to Missouri, being one of the pioneers of Jackson County, where he resided for a time, and removed to Platte County, being one of the first settlers of the Platte Purchase. In 1855, came to Kansas, taking up his abode in Leavenworth County, where he resided until 1868, when he became a resident of Atchison County, settling on his present farm. Mr. Henderson has always pursued farming, and has had many obstacles and hardships, which he endured as a pioneer in developing the different localities where he resided, and is deserving of much credit for what he has done in the West. Although past the meridian of life he is still quite active, and as industrious as in his younger days. He was married in Tennessee, to Miss Hannah McCoy. They have had nine children - James, Mary A., Sarah, John, Joseph Jr., George, Nannie. Lost two - William and Gilbert.
Obituary
Joseph Henderson, Senior, died at his home near Effingham, October 9, 1888, aged eighty-five years, four months and seventeen days.
Uncle Joe Henderson, as he was familiarly called by nearly every body, was one of the earliest, oldest and best citizen of this county. Hospitable, kind, social and loved by all who knew him; he was treated as a patriarch by all the neighborhood in which he lived. He leaves his aged companion, seven children and many grand children to mourn their loss. Father Henderson was a consistent member of the Baptist church and died in the hope of the gospel of Christ. The writer, at the funeral, discoursed to the bereaved family and many sympathizing neighbors, upon the text, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."
