The 'Sun' of this morn. says: 'Donald HENDRY was born at Eel River (York Co.) about 35 years ago.' This is by no means correct. Donald HENDRY was born in Cambridge (Queens Co.) near the mouth of the Washademoak Lake on what is now known as the Leonard farm about the year 1855. He was the youngest s/o late James HENDRY, who with his wife, Delila HENDRY owned and occupied this farm for many years and reared upon it a very large family, six of whom were boys. Mr. Hendry, sr. was a consistent member of the Cambridge Baptist Church and worshiped with his family at what was then known as the 'Colwell meeting house.' which was only a short distance from the Hendry residence. His house was the home for the minister of the gospel and many a wayfaring man has shared his hospitable roof and family board and gone on his way rejoicing. His heart was large and his hand always open to releive the wants of the poor and needy. About the year 1857, Mr. Hendry sold his farm to the late Daniel PALMER for a large sum of money and bought a splendid farm in Kingsclear (York Co.) about nine miles above Fredericton where he moved with his family. Here Donald received his earlier education and from this farm he came to the bookstore of S.R. Miller, in Fredericton, as a clerk, when about 13 years old. From parcel boy he rapidly rose to be a quick and clever salesman. From Fredericton he came to St. John and entered the service of T.H. Hall in 1870, since which time his movements have become a matter of history. As far as his family is concerned there were no reasons why he should ever have manifested and disinclination to refer to his antecedents, and indeed, he has many friends in both this city and Fredericton who never noticed such disinclination, nor did they feel that it ever existed. After living in Kingsclear a number of years, Mr. Hendry bought a farm at Eel River and a few years after moving to that place, one day while walking on the railway track (being hard of hearing) was run over by a train and killed. Mrs. Hendry is living on this farm with one of her sons. The boys are all married, except Donald and live in different parts of the province. The writer of the above brief sketch speaks from a personal knowledge of the Hendry family, in whose family closet there is no skeleton which they desire to conceal.
