Ames S. Hendersen, b.tnker, died at Ills
residence, comer of l'ast King and Ann
strcels, nt 3J o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
after nu Illness of nbeut two months, In the
73ilyoarefhlsngo. Ills death resulted from
a general wasting nway of the tiyslem, caused
by stemachic derangement, which prevented
him from retaining and assimilating nour
ishing feed. He did net appear te beallllctcU
with nny organ le dlseate, nud nltheugh
he liecame very much emaciated by his long
fasting, he suffered but littln pal", and his
mental faculties remained perfectly clear te
thn cud.
Mr. Hendersen belonged te ene or tlie old
est uud most highly respected families of this
county. Ills great-great-grandruther was
Themas Honderson, who emigrated rretu
Ireland and settled In Salisbury township
nlwut 1727. His great-grandfaiher'a name
was ulse Thei.ias, his grandfather's Matthew,
and his f.tther's name Barten Hcndor Hcnder Hcndor
seu. Theso gentlemeu, together with a large
kinship of Hendersen", viere landowners in
Salisbury township, hoiiie of them from its
earnest scuicmcni ami nincrs until lo-eiiv,
and by intoriuarrlnge wcre connected with
many ofthe principal families in the eastern
end or the county.
AtneiS. Hendorsen was born en the farm
of his father, Mr. Harteu Hendersen, in
Salisbury township, near the Wliite Herso
tavern. After his father's death he condticted
the farm for sonie years, and then went into
the incrcahtlle business nt the old tavern
property near the Wliite Herse. As he pros
pered in business, he bullta new stonehouo
and carried en merchandizing ler sevcral
years. In 1S51 he removed te .Imcastcr,
nnd hi March 18,13 entered into co-partnership,
with Isaac I'. Ilcister, Jehn K. Heed,
ami David Sliultz as prlvate bankers, under
the linn name or Jehn K. Heed A Ce., their
office being in the building en the Northeast
corner of Hast King and Duke streets. In
March, I6O0, Mr. Sliultz withdrew from the
firm and the business was conducted bv the
tlirce lcmalning imrtncrs under the tJtle of
Hctsl, Hendersen A Ce., In ISiie they pur
chased n property en Duke street oppeslto
the court house, and built upon it tlie fine
banking house of which they took possession
in Marcli 1500, and in which the business has
slnce been conducted. In 1S71 Mr. Hicster
died, and the surviving partners purchased
his Interest in tlie bank and continued the
business under the firm name of Heed A
Hendersen. In 15S2 Mr. Heed died nnd Mr.
Hendorsen continued the business assisted
by his sous J. Hepkins Hendersen and Wil
liam Hendersen.
The banking house fiem the time of its os-
lauusiimcui. was cenuueicu en sound uusi
ness principles and with the strictest integ
rity, the members of the firm giving their
liersenal attention te its alfaiis; nud as a
censequence it enjoyed the fullest confi
dence ofthe public and for many years trans
acted mero business than any etlicr private
baukiuc house in the city.
.Mr. Hendersen was twice mnriicd, bis first
wife being Mary Malv inn, a sister of Now New Now

married te a daughter of Prof. J. 1. Wicker
sham, J. Hepkins Hendersen, slngle, and
the Inte Alfred Hendersen since dc eased.
Mr. Hendersen's sceondvvife was Anne
rranklln, (a daughter or Judge Walter
I'rniikliu, nud sister or the late lien. Thes.
U. Franklin,) le whom tie was married lu 180i,
and who sin vives him.
Ill lielitlcs Mr. Hendersen was a moderate
Hepublican, but seldom took nn active part
in party contests. He was ut ene tlme a can
didate for county register, and later a candi
date l'er state treasurer, but failed te secure
the nomination of his patty. Tiiese we bo be bo

having often declined te accept iuiiuicital
positions. In 1S7:2 he wasadelegate te the
Ilepubllcan national convention tiiat nomi
nated Gen. Grant, Ids colleague being the
lata Hen. Jehn Strohm.
Mr. Hendersen was all his life an Episco
