Various Street Scenes

These came off of Facebook--I don't have dates for them but Henderson stayed pretty much the same over the years

This one is dated 1894

These are from the 20s or so

Henderson Basketball team 1925

I always get a kick out of these old photos.
Once again, the information I have on this photo has come from the Henderson Facebook page. 

According to it, Bud Byers is in the middle holding the ball and Suede Byers is on the bottom right.

Henderson basketball team 1930

The boy's basketball team from 1930.   Any information as to the players in this picture is from the Henderson page on Facebook.  I plan on adding names as they become known.

 The bottom row far right is Reign and Dusen Byers.  Cy Brown is in the back row in the middle.


This is the year the Henderson boys went to the state tournament.

The opening round they beat Geneseo 25 to 23.

The quarter-finals they beat LaMoille 23 to 11

In the semi-finals they were beaten by Davenport 34 to 29.

The consolation game they plyed Paton who beat them 32 to 24.

The information I have is that this is a view of Henderson around 1908.   According to the Henderson page on Facebook-- Beverly Boileau dated this one  as pre 1908 as there is the school between the two churches, and it burned down in 1908.

I'd forgotten I had this one.  The quality isn't as good as I'd like.
