EBENEZER HENDERSON (ex-Auditor of State) was born in this county [Morgan]
June 2, 1833.  His duties called him to Indianapolis quite often, and he
resided there from January, 1875, until 1879.  His parents, James C. and
Mary (Piercy) Henderson, natives of Shelby County, Ky., were married in
July, 1831.  They came to Morgan County the following fall, and the father
entered eighty acres of land five miles south of Martinsville.  He built a
cabin, and began to clear the wilderness.  At his death, January 8, 1867,
he owned 360 acres of land.  The mother died in Martinsville, October 25,
1879.  Ebenezer Henderson was educated in Morgan County in the
three-months' winter schools.  At the age of twenty, he entered the State
University at Bloomington, where he remained two years.  On returning
home, he took charge of his father's farm and traded in stock, fast
accumulating money.  He was married, in 1856, to Ann C. Hunt, daughter of
a neighboring farmer, soon after which he was appointed Deputy County
Treasurer, in which office he served for four years.  In 1860, he received
the nomination, on the Democratic ticket, for County Treasurer.  In 1868,
he was nominated for State Senator for the counties of Morgan and Johnson,
was elected, and served four years.  On retiring from this office, he gave
his attention to his extensive farm, and the erection of a large
pork-packing house in Martinsville, which was run under the firm name of
Henderson, Parks & Co. until 1880, and now under the firm name of
Harrison, Parks & Co. [sic]  In 1874, he was elected Auditor of State, and
was re-elected one year later, serving for three years.  He was chosen by
the Democratic party in their State Convention a member of the State
Central Committee for the Indianapolis District, which position he
occupied for two years.  At present he resides in Martinsville, in the
full vigor and prime of his manhood.  He is the father of six children -
Fannie, Ella, Maggie, June, William, Howard and Court.
