Monroe Henderson
Monroe Henderson (1818 in Watertown, Jefferson County, New York – December 5, 1899 in Jamaica, Queens, New York City) was an American merchant and politician from New York.
Life
He was the son of Thomas Monroe Henderson. In 1842, he removed to Long Island. There he first worked as a clerk, and later became a merchant. In 1856, he traveled for about a year to Kansas to improve his health.
He was a member of the New York State Senate (1st D.) in 1862 and 1863, but due to ill health he abandoned the 85th Session on January 31, and did not take his seat during the 86th Session.
He died at the home of his niece at 54 Union Ave., in Jamaica, Queens.

gollark: Weird, a connection from Poland 13 minutes ago.
gollark: Did someone just try to access that about 60 seconds ago?
gollark: I have it set up now to redirect "/cgi-bin/ViewLog.asp" ones to osmarks internet radio™.
gollark: Sadly, no more bots have decided to send me requests.
gollark: Wait, I have a fun idea: I could edit the server configuration so when someone requests one of the exploit paths/has a botnetty user agent, it sends them the infinitely long osmarks internet radio™ stream instead.
