Belmont Chronicle, June 19, 1873, page 3:

With deep regret we chronicle the death at 2 o'clock on Monday morning of Capt. James Henderson of Colerain township, whose serious illness we noticed last week. The death of Capt. Henderson is not only an irreparable loss to a grief-stricken household but a serious loss to an entire community. He was an energetic and public spirited man, always foremost in whatever tended to advance the interests and good of the community in which he lived. His funeral took place on Tuesday.

Colerain Locals

At an early hour on Monday the word was passed from lip to lip that Capt. James Henderson was dead; this was the more surprising because one of his physicians the day previous expressed the opinion that his disease had yielded to the power of medicine and there was hope of his recovery.
On Tuesday hundreds of the citizens of Belmont, Harrison and Jefferson Counties assembled to pay their respects to the deceased. We recognized in the assembly the minister of the gospel, the mechanic, the merchant, the banker, the farmer, and the trader. The corpse was placed in a richly carved rosewood case, profusely ornamented with white metal mounting, with half glass cover. Religious services was conducted by Revs. Armstrong, Embell and others. The Rev. Armstrong remarked that he had been acquainted with the deceased for many years and had recognized in him the "affectionate husband, the kind father, the faithful friend, the Christian, patriot and soldier; although the deceased had an interesting family to claim his affections, and an extensive business to demand his attention, yet when he was reminded that his end was near he bowed submissively to the will of Providence."
I will leave the writer of his obituary to speak of his services to the church and his country. His remains were deposited in the cemetery near Harrisville.
