Person:Robert Henderson (6)

Died at 18 from typhoid fever, according to Alexander's insurance policy amendment, 1899.

Robert M. Henderson, letter 3 June 1987: "I remember Dad [Robert E. Henderson] and Aunt Bess briefly discussing him a couple of times -- she called him 'Bob' -- but neither seemed to know how he really ended up. There was some speculation he came West to work in some minefield (coal?) or another in B. C. and then died a victim of some plague or another like influenza or 'consumption.' I gathered he and his father had had a falling out (hardly unusual for a father and his oldest heir and assign) which led him to leave home."
