“PIONEER RESIDENT DIES.
Seth HENDERSON, aged and well known resident of the county, passed away at his home near
Cornettsville last Friday, his death being caused by a complication of diseases.
Mr. HENDERSON was born in Ireland in 1843. He came to America when about nineteen years
old and became a naturalized citizen in the year 1868. In the year 1874 he was united in
marriage to Mary Anne JOHNSTON at Bellefountain, Ohio. To this union five children were
born of whom three survive. These are Geo. W. of this city, Earl of Greensburg, Kans.,
and Mrs. Katherine GILLIATT of Plainville. The wife and companion, one brother, Geo. Of
Ohio and eight grandchildren are also left to mourn his demise.
Mr. HENDERSON moved to Indiana about thirty-six years ago and settled on the farm where
the remainder of his life was spent. He was a member of the United Brethren Church at
Otterbein where he faithfully served as class leader ‘til but a short time before his
death.
He was widely known throughout the county and had a host of friends. The funeral service
was held at Plainville Sunday afternoon and burial was made in the cemetery at that
place.”
