HENDERSON, Nathaniel
Source: Covington People’s Friends 8 May 1847 p 2
Died last Sunday at his residence in VanBuren Township, Nathaniel Henderson one of the Fountain Riflemen who had returned, discharged for sickness last fall. His disease we understand was the dropsy, contracted by exposure in camp. This we believe is the 16th of that fine body of men who left this place a few months ago to dare the dangers of battle, the horrors of sickness and privation, unacclimated under a burning sun; who have found their last resting place on earth without the hazard or the glory of a single engagement with the enemy.
