His mother died when ihe was very young and he was reared by Mr. and Mrs. Pettus Chick. Mr. Henderson was a member of the fifth regiment and served all through the war. His deafness was caused by an attack of -measles and by a beating given him by a negro officer while he was a prisoner of war. The negro ordered him to black his shoes, which, of course, he refused to do, when the negro overpowered him and beat him severely, Mr. Henderson be ing weak from the measles and pow erless to defend himself from 'the bru tal attack beyond whait 'little resist ance he was able to make backed by his courage and honor.
