Frank Henderson Family Drowned

A telegram Thursday from Jerry Cox, former resident of Tyrone, but now of Sioux 
City, notified Samuel C. Henderson, of Eden Hill, that his son Frank with his 
wife and young child, were, victims of the disastrous flood in that place on 
Wednesday. Frank was the son of Samuel C. and Julia W. Henderson, and was born 
May 25, 1860, at the old brick homestead about one mile from Spruce Creek, and 
consequently was thirty-two years of age. About eight years ago, he went west 
and located in Kansas, but subsequently in Sioux City Iowa, where he engaged in 
teaming. and prospered wonderfully, soon owning a number of teams. He was 
married last June to Miss Eyre, daughter of Samuel Eyre, a well known citizen 
of Charter Oak, Iowa, and the young couple had established a cozy little home 
on the east side of town which with their sweet little son, two
weeks old, made life to them a happy dream. As they lived en the east or lower 
side of town, yesterday hopes were entertained that Frank was not at home, but 
engaged in hauling on high ground on the opposite side of the river, but alas 
for those hopes, a telegram Friday morning from Samuel Eyre dissipated them, 
and it is certain that the happy family are united in death as they were in 
life.  James Henderson, of Houtzdale, a brother of the deceased, left on 
Pacific express Friday morning for Sioux City to take charge of affairs there
