Mrs. Martin Henderson One of County's Oldest Settlers, Passes Away.

Deceased Born in Sweden. Came to this Country in 1883 and Lived for Time in 
Minneapolis--Has Lived on Shore of Kansas Lake Since 1891--Funeral Services 
This Afternoon.

Mrs. Martin Henderson who lived seven miles southwest of St. James died 
Monday evening at the Fairview Hospital, Minneapolis, where she recently 
underwent an operation.  Funeral services will be held today at 1 o'clock 
from the farm home and  2 o'clock from Long Lake church, Rev. M. K. Hartman 
officiating.

Mrs. Henderson is one of the oldest pioneer residents of this county. She was 
born in Sweden and is the daughter of Andrew and Kisa Erickson.  She came to 
this country in 1888 and was married the same year to Martin Henderson, who 
then lived in Minneapolis. The family moved to the shores of Kansas Lake in 
1891 to make their new home. They have lived there ever since.

Mrs. Henderson is well known through out this county. The Henderson farm on 
the shores of Kansas Lake has been one of the favorite picnic places and 
hundreds of persons visit it each summer.  Mr. and Mrs. Henderson have always 
permitted the lake shore to be used by the pleasure seekers and have made no 
charge for the privilege.

Mrs. Henderson has been active in church work, and has been a member of the 
Norwegian Lutheran church. She lived a wholesome Christian life, and has 
made a large group of friends during her residence in this community.  The 
Plaindealer joins with this group in extending sympathy to those who mourn 
her loss.

*(There are a couple of discrepencies in the dates this says she immigrated 
and married in 1888, while husband Martin's obituary gives date as 4 Aug 1883).
*There is no source for this obituary, nor date of passing given in the 
obituary.
