The Georgia Enterprise, September 29, 1899
Mrs. Henderson Dead
     Mrs. R. J. Henderson, the widow of the late General Robert J. Henderson, 
died Tuesday morning at 5 o’clock at the residence of her daughter Mrs. L. J. 
Hill, in Atlanta.
     Mrs. Henderson has been ill in Atlanta for some weeks and as the disease 
from which she suffered continued to gain in strength, robbing her of her usual 
power, all hope for the recovery began to lessen, until the final end, which 
came very peacefully.
     Mrs. Henderson was widely known through the state, and had scores of 
friends who loved her very dearly.
     Mrs. Henderson leaves five children to mourn her death. Mr. Jno. F. 
Henderson, of Covington, Mrs. L. J. Hill, of Atlanta, Mrs. E. Y. Hill, of 
Washington, Ga., Messrs. C. Y. Henderson and W. H. Henderson of Atlanta.
     Her remains were brought down on the 9:20 train for interment. The funeral 
was preached by Rev. S. B. Ledbetter at the Methodist Church here Wednesday 
morning.
     She was loved by everybody in and around Covington for her Christian 
character, and many cardinal virtues. In her death Covington loses one of its 
purest women, the State, one of its shining characters.
