• Notes

  Henderson was an ambitious young man from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, who opened his own small grocery and dry goods store on State Street in Trenton in 1854. He prospered, and in 1867, was able to purchase a new four story brick building in Lafayette Row. He carried "ready made cloaks, sealskin saques, shawls [and] kid gloves, fine handkerchiefs, parasols, hosiery, collars, cuffs, underwear, and in fact, everything known to the trade."
