To bring things full circle, here is the obituary from the June 17th, 1965 copy of the Melrose Free Press: Robert M. Henderson Service will be held today, June 17 for Robert. M Henderson, 54, of 155 Upham Street, at Beals Funeral Home, 29 Governors Avenue, Medford. Mr. Henderson was the co-publisher of the former Malden Press from 1954 to 1960, and a member of it's staff beginning in 1938. He was a member of the adverting staff of the Dedham Transcript Press and the Newton Graphic since August of 1960, joining the newspapers after the Malden Press was sold. Mr. Henderson entered the Winchester Hospital on June 9. He was stricken ill at his home following his return from work. He died early Monday. A native of Peabody, he starred at Marblehead High School in track, baseball and football. He went on to the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., where he was a football star. As a youth he attended grammar schools in Malden, making his home with an aunt following the death of his mother, Mrs. Jamesina (Montgomery) Henderson in 1919. At the age of 12, he went to Scotland with his father, Angus Grant Henderson, to his father's native town of Dunbeath. For two years he and his father lived there while he attended school in the same classroom his father had. They later returned to settle in Marblehead, but Henderson and his wife, the former Ruth Murray of Medford, had made several return trips to Scotland. Henderson's 1938-1960 career with the Malden Press was interrupted only by World War II service. Though troubled by arthritis, he volunteered for service with the Army, and while he was not granted permission for overseas service, he taught airplane mechanics in Texas and Mississippi for the Army Air Force. Burial will be in Oak Grove Cemetary, Medford, and the Rev. Alexander Henderson of Medford will officiate at the services and committal. Mr. Henderson, a member of the American Legion, is survived only by his wife. --------------------------- I am very curious about Rev. Alexander Henderson of Medford, I know Robert and Ruth had no children, but what are the chances this is a relative? Thanks againf or everyone's help.
