Rev. Theodore Henderson, a well known retired Baptist minister, died at his home in Brookville, at an early hour on last Thursday, after a protracted illness caused by wounds received while in the army. He was for eleven years the faithful and efficient pastor of the Brookville Baptist church, which was built and dedicated during his pastorate.
For several years past, Rev. Henderson has been laid aside from active pastoral work. He was a cheerful, faithful soldier on the field of battle as well as in the Master’s service, and his funeral, conducted in the Baptist church on Thursday evening by the Brookville Ministerial Association, who were assisted by the Hon. W. P. Jenks and Rev. L. J. Shoemaker and Prof. Ballentine, of Clarion, were very impressive, all the speakers commending the life of the deceased as one specially worthy of imitation.
The G.A.R. post of Brookville also attended the funeral in a body and on Friday morning a detachment of old comrades attended the corps [sic] to Blairsville, Pa., where the remains were laid to rest. A widow and one daughter are left to mourn their loss in which they have the condolence of a large circle of friends.
