   Harry S. Henderson, veteran of the Spanish-American War and farmer by
occupation, of Valley Center, Sedgwick county, Kansas, was born March 20, 1882,
in Sumner county, Kansas. His parents were Harry H. Henderson and Clara
(Fassett) Henderson, both of genuine Yankee stock. The elder Henderson died in
Rogers, Ark., to which state he had gone for his health when his son was nine
years old. After a residence of four years in Arkansas with his father, Harry S.
Henderson came back to Kansas and made his home with his grandfather, Lewis

to Texas. On January 8, 1901, Mr. Henderson enlisted for the Philippine War in B

sailed for the Philippine Islands, arriving at Manila bay on April 17. His
regiment was placed in General Wood's expedition on Jolo Island from August 27,
1901, to August 31, 1903. Mr. Henderson served three months as a special prison
guard. The regiment being divided up into battalions, he was placed in the First
Battalion, where he served up to the time of his discharge on October 15, 1903.
Mr. Henderson was married on February 14, 1906, in Sedgwick county, to Miss
