A Pioneer Gone:

The passing at his home on Concession 11, North Dumfries, on Monday last, one who has been known in this vicinity for more than fifty - eight years. Thomas Henderson was born on the farm known as Abbot-Ruel in Roxburghshire, Scotland. In January 1829, at the age of 33 years, he married Miss Janet Henderson, who, though of the same name, was not a blood-relation. Of this union were born twelve children, eight of whom are still living. In the year 1831, Mr. and Mrs. Henderson came to Canada to make their home. On May 26th of that year they arrived in Galt, which was then a small village. Shortly afterwards they moved to the farm now occupied by Mr. R. Cochrane, North Dumfries. Remaining there a short time they next took the farm now in the possession of Mr. Wm. Morton, whence they went to the farm where Mr. Henderson ended his days, Lot 30, 11th Concession, settling there April 2nd 1842. Amongst those who came to this country about the same time as the deceased was his brother John Henderson; Thomas Adams, who served under Lord Nelson; James Davidson of Keg Lane; Robert Cranston; David Brown; John Kerr and John Mathison. Of these, we are informed that the first four named came in the same vessel with him. All have passed over to the great majority, some of them being laid to rest many years ago. So far as is known Mr. Henderson was the last remaining of the heroic old pioneers of North Dumfries, who endured much hardship and many privations that they might leave to those following, the fair heritage they now possess. All honour to such man, the memories of whose noble deeds cannot be too highly cherished by their descendants. Some 15 years ago Mr. Henderson gave up the management of the farm, his son John, with whom he has since resided, succeeding him. up to within five days of his death, he was able to move about the house, although the once robust form had failed. He has attained the patriarchal age of 93 years. His aged partner in life's joys and sorrows has the sympathy of a large circles of relatives and friends. Although 83, Mrs. Henderson is yet quite active and so lightly has time passed over her that she retains the natural colour of her hair much more than some of their children. Thier surviving children are Mrs. Chas. Rodgers of Wawanash Township, William of Ayr; James of Reidsville; Mrs. T. Mathison, of Strasburg; Thomas C., of Ayr; Mrs. James Henry, of Egremont Township; John, on the homestead and Robert E. living on Concession 10, North Dumfries. The funeral, which took place on Wednesday, to Cedar Creek cemetery was largely attended.
