A. H. HENDERSON WAS BORN NEAR RANDALL

Andrew H. Henderson, whose parents were Henry and Malinda Henderson, was born near Randall, Nov. 19, 1870, and died at Story City, Jan. 21, 1930. He was at his death 59 years and two months old. Practically his whole life was spent near the place of his birth.

On Oct. 14, 1896, he was united in marriage to Miss Christina Christenson. To this union five children were born, four of whom have passed beyond. Arnold, who lives on the homestead, is the only living child. In 1897 Mr. Henderson bought a farm two and one-half miles northeast of Randall, where he lived with his family until he moved to Story City nine years ago.

Those who mourn his departure are his dear wife, his son, Arnold and family, two sisters and three brothers, namely: Mrs. Anna Larson of Story City, Mrs. Lorinda Hagen of Albert Lea, Minn., Albert, Erick and Orville Henderson, all of Story City. While living on his farm Mr. Henderson was a member of the Lutheran church of Randall. After he moved to Story City, he has been a member of the Bethel Lutheran church.

Mr. Henderson was of a quiet and kind hearted nature. He minded his own affairs and let others alone. Some 17 years ago he found peace with his God, and since that time he has tried by the help of God to lead a Christian life. We hope and trust that as he now has left this militant church below after a brief illness with pneumonia, he has joined the triumphant church above. God bless his memory.

Friday, Jan. 23, he was buried from the Bethel church, where a host of friends paid him their last respects. Rev. G. O. Paulsrud officiated. Floral offering were many and beautiful. Burial was made in the Mamrelund cemetery, east of Randall.
