JOHN W. HENDERSON.

	John W. Henderson. though one of the younger representatives of 
the Colorado bar, has already won a creditable measure of success 
during the comparatively brief period of his practice in Greeley, where 
he maintains offices in the First National Bank building. He is 
numbered among the worthy native sons of Greeley, where his birth 
occurred on the 5th of July, 1S92, his mother being Mrs. Grace N. 
Allen.

	John W. Henderson pursued his early education in the public 
schools of his native city and subsequently prepared for the practice 
of his chosen profession as a student in the University of Colorado, 
which institution conferred upon him the degree of LL. B. in 1916. He 
at once entered upon the practice of law in Greeley and has already won 
an enviable reputation in this connection. The zeal with which he has 
devoted his energies to his profession, the careful regard evinced for 
the interests of his clients and an assiduous and unrelaxing attention 
to all the details of his cases, are bringing to him an ever increasing 
business. His high standing in professional circles is indicated in the 
fact that he has been chosen secretary and treasurer of the Weld County 
Bar Association.

	In politics Mr. Henderson is a republican, while his religious 
faith is that of the Congregational church. He is also identified with 
the Knights of Pythias and belongs to several legal and college 
fraternities, including Phi Delta Theta and Phi Delta Phi. He is now 
serving as treasurer for the Weld County Chapter of the American Red 
Cross and is chairman of the Home Service of that organization, and as 
a patriotic and loyal citizen devotes considerable attention to his 
duties in that connection. Mr. Henderson resides with his mother at No. 
1508 Ninth avenue and is one of the most popular and esteemed young 
citizens of Greeley.
