The Toccoa (GA) Record, Toccoa, GA, January 12, 1922

Mr. And Mrs. J. N. Henderson
	Mr. J. N. Henderson, who passed away last Monday evening at 4:45, week 
ago, was 75 years of age. On the following Wednesday morning at 2:30 o’clock, 
his widow passed to the great beyond. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson were buried on the 
day of their 54th wedding anniversary, and on the day prior to her death, Mrs. 
Henderson was making preparations for her husband’s burial.
	This couple was indeed devoted to each other, and it was very seldom 
one was away from the other for any length of time. Mrs. Henderson was a great 
church worker, as well as her husband. Each were members of Zebulon Baptist 
church.  Mrs. Henderson loved children, and devoted the greater part of her 
life to them. She was the mother of ten children, of which five are living. 
Besides these, she raised two grandchildren.
	The children surviving the deceased couple are Mr. T. G. Henderson, of 
Macon, Ga., Mr. F. S. Henderson, of Ensley, Ala., Mrs. Chas. Smith, of Ensley, 
Ala., Mrs. R. K. McRoberts, of Louisville, Ky., and Mrs. Paul Gibson, of Toccoa.

Toccoa Husband and Wife Die Within Two Days of Each Other
Two of the saddest deaths in the history of Toccoa occurred Monday afternoon 
and Wednesday morning, respectively, when Mr. Josh N. Henderson dropped dead 
about 2 o’clock while at work in his field, located about 1 ˝ miles Northwest 
of Toccoa, and on Wednesday morning his widow fell dead while walking to the 
fire place in her room.
It is thought that the terrible shock of the husband’s death weighed so heavily 
upon the aged widow, that she could not stand the burden of sorrow.
Mr. Henderson was in his 64th year and his widow was about 62 years of age. 
Heart failure is said to have caused each death.
Funeral services were being arranged for the burial of her husband when death 
came to Mrs. Henderson and owing to the sad coincidence, Mr. Henderson’s burial 
was postponed and the husband and wife were laid to rest Thursday afternoon in 
a double grave in Zebulon cemetery. Revs. Stovall, Rothell and Foster conducted 
the funeral services.
