The next four photos of tombstones depict the marker for Henderson Holding. At first glance, the tombstone appears to state that Henderson was born in 1793 and died in 1930. That would make him 137 years old at this death. However, after a close look at the inscription, the “1793” refers to the “Circle” number of an organization to which Henderson Holding must have belonged. The close-up views show the exact name of the organization as “Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of the Earth”, so he would have belonged to Circle Number 1793. Apparently, that organization paid for the marker and only had the death date inscribed. However, census records reveal his birth year as being about 1846, since the 1920 record gives his age as 74. He lived another 10 years, dying at age 84, just before the 1930 census was taken. 53 - (2261)
