H. Berry, under the firm name of Henderson & Berry, which has since continued uninterrupted, and has been very successful; he was married on the 8th of October, 1868, to Miss Nancy J. Spray; Mr. Henderson had a fine business training under his father as deputy treasurer, which has stood him in good stead in the practice of law; few young men have met with a more rapid or a better deserved success than he, and he has demonstrated that work, always counts and gains that advancement which all men desire, but which but few command; Mr. Henderson has also taken an active part in educational affairs, and is a member of the executive committee of Simpson Centenary College; he richly deserves the success he has won; his children are Edgar Brenton, born June 23, 1872; Frank Pervin, born November 11, 1875, and Inez Spray, born September 6, 1877; his oldest, Alfred Judson, born September 18, 1869, is dead.
