He also leaves two brothers and two sisters: Isaac HENDRICKSON, of Kewanna, who is now very ill, Mathias [HENDRICKSON], of Kewanna and Miss Sarah HENDRICKSON and Mrs. Katherine MURRAY of Kewanna.
Mr. Hendrickson, when active, took a deep interest in community life and in politics. He was a supporter of the democratic party and about 36 years ago, served two terms as trustee of Wayne township. In 1899 he was elected county treasurer, serving two terms. He then moved to Rochester, where he resided the rest of his life. He was a member of the Masonic lodge.
