Div. runs and the tracks skirting the property from its western boundary to the point it goes onto the high bridge; this frontage is an arc of a circle." Frank Lees Slide 1573.

Henderson is buried in Media Cemetery, but the date on photo precedes Henderson’s death, as reported in the newspaper, by five weeks. Either date is wrong or this picture shows the flowers of another person.

Sign reads: Carpenter and Builder. The 1885 Media Directory lists William Newlin, carpenter, with a residence at the corner of Franklin St. and Manchester Ave. The shop pictured was most likely at a different location, probaby somewhere in Media.
