Rev. John C Hendrickson, a merchant and Baptist minister, residing in
Alabama, was born in Faulkner County, August 19, 1859. He is a son of
C. W. and Elizabeth A. (Ross) Hendrickson, who were natives,
respectively, of Tennessee and Ohio. Father was raised and reared on a
farm, and followed that as an occupation all his life. Father and
mother were married in Pope County, Arkansas, in 1856, and were the
parents of three children, of which the subject of this sketch was the
oldest, and is the only living child. Father enlisted in the Tenth
Arkansas Regiment, Confederate army, in 1861, and died in 1862.
Mother died in 1884, a worthy member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Our subject received a fair business education at Springfield,
this county, and was married to Miss Rosa Boley, a native of Alabama,
born September 21, 1856. She is a daughter of George W. and Frances E.
(Jourdon) Boley. To the union of Mr. and Mrs. Hendrickson have been
born six children, only two of whom are now living: Andrew A., and an
infant unnamed. Mr. Hendrickson was ordained as a minister of the
Primitive Baptist Church in 1885, and he now supplies the pulpit for
the denomination of that faith at Ada. He is a man of pleasing manners
and address, courteous and genial.
