Pilot John Henderson
Kentucky Post, Friday, 22 April 1904, page 5
John Henderson, 76, a veteran river pilot, is reported as lying
critically ill at his home in California Ky. He has been a pilot on the Ohio
River for the last forty years. He was a pilot on the steamer Magnolia before
she blew up and also occupied the pilot house on the steamers Wildwood,
City of Portsmouth, Fleetwood, Bostona and Lancaster.
The probabilities are that he will not recover.
