"FREDERIC C. HENSHAW, 81, FORMER WATER USERS EXEC
Frederic C. Henshaw, 81, an executive 37 years with the Salt River Valley Water Users Association; died Sunday in his home, 1236 E. Myrtle.
Mr. Henshaw's father, A.L. Henshaw, settled in Phoenix in 1883 and planted one of the first commercial orchards where some of the fruit was dried and freighted to Arizona mining towns. Old Henshaw Road was named for his father.
Mr. Henshaw started as a timekeeper with the Bureau of Reclamation in 1910 and was shortly afterwards transferred to the water services and made chief clerk. He was then assigned to special work in preparing water right contracts covering all lands of the project.
When the association took over the operation in 1919 he was appointed its secretary, a position he held for 27 years. He also served as personnel director.
After retiring in 1947, Mr. Henshaw devoted his time to a citrus grove which he first planted in 1929, and for several years he served on the board of directors of the Arizona Citrus Growers Association. His other activities included membership in the Arizona Pioneers Association.
Services will be at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow in A.L. Moore and Sons Mortuary, 333 W. Adams. Friends may call from 3 to 10 p.m. tomorrow in the mortuary. Burial will be in Greenwood Cemetery.
