DANIEL HENSHAW, deceased, was of Sourthern birth, born December 16, 1826. The death of his father when he was an infant left him to the care of his mother, who removed with him to Greene County, Ind., in 1828, and afterward married William Bynum. Daniel Henshaw married Anna Dellinger for his first wife, but she and the three children born to them are now dead. He was married to Susanna (Slinkard) Shoemaker in December, 1860, and in 1861 became a member of Company C, Fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and died of disease at Farmington, Tenn., July 3, 1862. Mrs. Henshaw was the daughter of Frederick Slinkard. She was born in Greene County July 1,1827; was married to Daniel Shoemaker in August, 1848, by whom she had five children, only two -- Catharine E. and Frederick S. -- yet living. Mr. Shoemaker died February 5,1859, and by her last husband, Mrs. Henshaw was the mother of two children -- Anna (Mrs. David Nugent) being the only survivor. Mrs. Henshaw has been a member of the Lutheran Church since sixteen years old, and resides at Newberry, within sight of her birthplace. Although sorely afflicted by the death of many of her nearest and dearest relatives, she has sumitted to the decrees of the Allwise Creator without murmuring, and is a firm believer in His works.
