Henderson, Jonathan -

Jonathan Henderson died Jan. 1 at 1:30 o'clock, at the home of Geo. Berry in south Clarinda, of a complication of diseases, ending in pneumonia.    He had been in poor health for several years past.   He was born in the year 1831 in Indiana, his parents being of the true type of the old time Seceders.    Early in life Mr. Henderson joined the United Presbyterian church, of which he was a faithful member until his death.   He moved to Page county in 1869, just 32 years ago, and purchased a farm three miles northeast of College Springs, just across the road from what is known as the Berry Hill farm, owned by Geo. Berry.    He lived there for 20 years, when he sold to Elmer Finley, buying some property in Clarinda, but investing his money mostly in the west.. He made his home in Clarinda but spent part of his time in College Springs, where he has a brother, Moses Henderson, who still survives him. He also spent part of the time at Evans, Colorado, where he has a sister who still survives. He also spent about two years at the bed side of an invalid brother in Michigan and tenderly nursed him until he was called away. He had a brother who lived a number of years in Harlan township, this county, who passed from this life several years ago.    He had a sister, Mrs. Hunter, who lived in College Springs for a number of years and was well known, she departing this life eight years ago.     The writer has known "Uncle" Jonathan, as he was commonly known, since he moved to Page county, and from his boyish recollection will have nothing but a pleasant memory of him and he seems almost like one of the members of the family.    There never was a better, kinder or more obliging neighbor and true friend of every one in the community.    He was of a very retired, unassuming, backward disposition and never got married.    Was energetic and succeeded in accumulating a good competency although very plain in his mode of living. Of him it can truly be said he never had an enemy but was liked by every one that knew him, as he was a warm friend of all that were intimately acquainted with him. He died a christian and had made his peace with his God, his last, audible words being a prayer.
Funeral services were held at the home of Geo. Berry at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, Jan. 15, conducted by Rev. Lowry, and his remains were taken to College Springs for interment.    A good man gone to his reward. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 15, 1901

 

 

Henderson, Maria Josephine Painter - Old Resident Passes Away. Mrs M. J. Henderson died at the H. E. McGee home in this city Tuesday afternoon. The funeral will be from the home on south 17th street this afternoon, interment being in the Clarinda cemetery. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 8, 1914

Mrs Maria Josephine Henderson. Marie Josephine Painter was born in Newcastle, Pa Aug. 7th, 1882, and lived there until she was 15 years of age, when her father, William Painter, with his family, of which she was the eldest, moved to LaHarpe, Hancock county, Ill.
She was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church when she was 20 years old, though she had been interested in religious services from early childhood, and was always a lover of the church.  
She was united in marriage with James Moss Henderson, Dec. 29th, 1844, and their home was established at Fountain Green, later removing to Terre Haute. In March, 1875, they removed to Clarinda,. Iowa, the husband passing away in November of the same year.
She was the mother of five children, William Painter, who died Jan. 20th, 1906; Charley Henry, who resides at Coin, la.; Mrs. Lizzie McGee, who has made her home with her since the death of her husband in 1882; Mrs. Mina Harrington of Kansas City, Mo., and Jas. Webster of Grant's Pass of Oregon. The latter could not be present in ler last illness, though visited with her a few months previous.
She leaves, besides these, thirteen grandchildren and fifteen great­grandchildren, who will ever cherish memory of Grandma Henderson.
Her death occurred at her home in Clarinda Tuesday morning, Jan. 6, 1914, at the advanced age of 91 years and 5 months—almost thirty-nine years of this time having been spent in Clarinda.
Hers was a life of usefulness and no sacrifice was too great if by it she could lend aid to others. She lived her religion and her daily guide book was the Bible, which was her constant companion, she having read it through seven times as it was written, and many more times in subjects. She proved the word and found it true. Her sunny disposition made a friend of everyone she met, and her sweet smile will long be remembered by all who knew her. During the later years of her life she at times suffered severe physical pain, but it was borne with patience and fortitude, and everything was always "all right." Her last hours were peaceful and she quietly slept away, and the influence of her long devoted Christian life will be widespread and lasting.
The funeral services were held at the home Thursday afternoon, conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. Woodard, assisted by Dr. A. H. Collins. The musical selections were beautifully rendered by the male quartette composed of Messrs, J.T. D. Keener, H. R. Spry, O. R. Lucas and C. Lankert. Interment was in the family lot in the Clarinda cemetery. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 22, 1914

Heninger, C.O. -

C. O. Heninger Dead.
The announcement was received in this city recently of the death on September 21 of C. O. Heninger at his home in Emmett, Idaho. Mr. Heninger was well known in Clarinda and has many relatives here. His mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Heninger, lives here with his sister, Mrs. N. Dowdell, and his brothers, Andrew and Rudy, also live here. Other sisters are Mrs. Carrie Cole, of Red Oak, Mrs. Ellen Burwell, Boise, Idaho, and Mrs. Adams, of Jetmore, Kans. A brother, Frank, lives at Tilden, Nebr. The following is taken from an Emmett, (Idaho), paper issued on the day of his death:
C. O. Heninger died at four o'clock this morning at his home in the eastern part of town. He was taken sick about a month ago with goitre. Weakness of the heart developed and other complications set in, and for a week past all hope of his recovery was given up. The deceased had lived in Emmett about eight years, coming here from Westfall, Ore. His former home was Clarinda, la., where his mother, sisters and brothers live. His family consists of a wife and a two year old boy. He was a good man. Ed Hayes, who was iatimately acquainted with him, having accompanied him on a journey to Alaska several years ago, says he was the best man he ever knew. His word was as good as his bond and in all his dealings he was upright and his death is generally regretted. He was a member of the M. E. church here and secretary of the board of trustees; he was also a member of the lodge of Odd Fellows. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon from the M. E. church, and the remains will be laid to rest by his brother Odd Fellows."
In a later issue the same paper says: "The funeral of C. O. Heninger Friday afternoon was largely attended, the church being filled to overflowing. The Odd Fellows turned out in large numbers and escorted the remains of their brother to the church and cemetery. The floral offerings were profuse. Rev. Dean conducted the services at the church and the Alfalfa Quartet furnished music. At the grave the beautiful ritualistic service of the Odd Fellows was rendered."

Helen M. Henshaw.
Helen M. Henshaw died Saturday morning July 11, at 1 o'clock at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Henshaw, in Des Moines after two weeks illness from appendicitis and peritonitis. The Des Moines Capital published the following concerning Miss Henshaw:
"Miss Henshaw was taken ill on June 25, but her condition was not considered serious until the evening of July 4, when Dr. H. G. Welpton called Dr. O. J. Pay in consultation. She was too weak for an operation for appendictitis and good nursing was the only resource. Despite every care and attention she sank slowly until death came this morning.
"Miss Henshaw is survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Henshaw, with whom she lived. She was 32 years of age.
At the bedside was Miss Ruth Paxson, a national secretary of the Y. W. C. A. and Miss Henshaw's closest friend. The shock of her friend's death affected her seriously today and her condition necessitated medical attention this morning.
"Helen Manville Henshaw was born at Clarinda, Iowa, April 5, 1876. Her early education was received in the Clarinda schools and for two years she attended the private preparatory school of Miss Rachael Clarke after her parents moved to Des Moines.
"Later she attended Stanley Hall in Minneapolis, from which institution she went to Vassar. She graduated in the classical course in 1900.
"Miss Henshaw joined the Methodist church at Clarinda when 15 years of age and has always been an active religious worker in behalf of the Y. W. C. A. She has accomplished a great and lasting good in the 26 Iowa institutions where branches of the great Christian organization exist.
"Three years ago this summer Miss Henshaw, accompanied by her friend, Ruth Paxson, went to Zeist, Holland, to attend the world's conference of the Y. W. C. A. She was abroad three or four months and upon her return began her duties as state student secretary of the Y. W. C. A., a position which she has filled most efficiently ever since.
"Recently Vassar college established a home in Tokio, Japan, and tendered the position of secretary to Miss Henshaw but she refused to accept the honor because of the adanced age of her father and mother, to whom she has been a great comfort in their declining years.
"Miss Henshaw was one of Des Moines' best educated young women and combined with a high degree of intellectuality she possessed a spirituality of temperament which endeared her to many friends. She had a splendid record in her Y. W. C. A. work and college girls over the state of Iowa who have met her in her visits the past few years, will be greatly shocked at her death.
"Memorial services were held at the residence, 1547 West Fourth street, at 5:30 p. m., Sunday. The body was taken to Clarinda Monday where there were also services."
Funeral services were conducted in this city at the home of Mrs. C. J. Hinman, an aunt of Miss Henshaw's, at six o'clock Monday evening. Rev. E. W. McDade, of Red Oak, a former pastor of the family, assisted by Rev. Abel, had charge of the service. A quartet, composed of Misses Bertha and Carrie Loranz, Messrs. John Keener and H. R. Spry, furnished music. Warren Hurlbut, of Villisca, sang very beautifully "Asleep in Jesus." Rev. McDade told of the great work of Miss Henshaw in the Y. W. C. A. and of her sweet, pure and unselfish life which she spent in helping those around her. Mr. Abel closed the service with a few words in tribute to this pure woman who died helping others. The floral tributes were many and very beautiful.
The relatives and friends who accompanied the remains here were Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Henshaw, Miss Lottie Granger and Miss Ruth Paxson, of Des Moines, and Dr. and Mrs. Rumbaugh, and Mr. and Mrs. Warren Hurlbut and daughter, of Villisca, and Rev. McDade, of Red Oak. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 17, 1908

Henshaw, Oscar F. - O. F. Henshaw died Monday evening, Nov. 25, at his home in north Clarinda after a long and eventful life, reaching the ripe old age of 81 years, 7 months and 1 day. He had not been sick long, although gradually failing for the past year or more, and it was simply the passing from this great world of activity into the unknown beyond upon the summons that his time to go had arrived. He had been a resident of this county for many years and was always an ambitious and upright man. The funeral was held from the Free Methodist churoh, yesterday at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. Abel and Rev. Austin. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 28, 1907

Obituary.
Oscar F. Henshaw was born in Aurora, Erie county, New York, April 24, 1826,, and died in Clarinda, Iowa, Nov. 25, 1907, having lived eighty-one years, seven months and one day.
He was united in marriage to Clara M. Brown December 25, 1851. One week later, at the yearly watch meeting, they were received into the Methodist Episcopal church at Aurora, N. Y., by Rev. J. Bowman, who officiated at their marriage. They lived at West Falls, Erie county, until the spring of 1856, when they moved to Taylor Co., Iowa, living there ten years, in the spring of 1866 removing to Clarinda, where he has since resided. His wife preceded him to the better world Aug. 6th. 1899.
Ten children were born to them, eight dying during infancy.
Surviving him are a daughter, Mrs. Anna M. Taylor, of Clarinda, Iowa, and a son, Horace Henshaw, of St. Joe, Mo.; three grandchildren, Mrs. Delia Boyer of Clarinda, Iowa, Ori G. Henshaw of St. Joe, Mo., Mrs. Thelma Garlick of Guinda, Cal.; also two great-grandchildren and a brother, Edwin Henshaw of Des Moines, Iowa, the only surviving member of his father's family.
Father Henshaw transferred his membership from the Methodist Episcopal church to the Free Methodist church in the year of 1901, where he remained a faithful member until he was called to the church triumphant. He was a man of order, and knowing that death was near, planned for it, as he had planned for all the duties of life, frequently expressing his submission to the will of the Father in this, as in all things. He carried a warm, loving, loyal heart, true to God, loyal to the church, and faithful to his friends. The later days of his life were much blest of God.
He has gone from us but his peaceful end reminds us of the words of the Prophet, "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his."
The funeral services were conducted at the Free Methodist church by Rev. F. I. Waters; text, St. John 14: 2-2, assisted by Rev. Austin, his pastor, and Rev. Abel, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 29, 1907
