General Notes: Husband - Joseph R. Henderson

---

He was reared on his father's farm. He received his education in the public schools and Dayton academy. At thirteen years of age he ran away from home and went to Philadelphia, where he enlisted, February 23, 1864, in Co. K, 14th Pa. Cavalry, but his parents demanded and secured his release. He afterwards enlisted (1864) in Co. I, 112th regiment, Pa. Vols., but was transferred to the 19th New York Independent Battery, and on account of not being able to engage in the marches was made powder monkey. He served creditably for eighteen days in the Wilderness fights and in all the battles from Spottsylvania to Lee's surrender at "Appomattox Court-House." He was discharged January 20, 1866, and was one of the youngest boys who served in the Civil War. He returned home, attended Dayton academy, taught several terms and spent one year (1870) at West Point Military academy. But having a decided taste for legal pursuits, he abandoned the profession of arms and in 1873 entered the law office of Hon. Edward S. Golden. At June term, 1875, he was admitted to the Armstrong county bar and became one of the well-established and successful lawyers of Kittanning. In politics he was an ardent republican, served as chairman of the republican county committee of Armstrong County, and was a delegate to the state convention at Harrisburg, in June, 1890. In 1876 he was elected district attorney, which office he filled efficiently. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Lodge No. 244, F. and A. M., and the First Presbyterian church of Kittanning.
