HENDERSON posted by David Greene on Saturday, March 1, 1997

I am trying to find information on William P. HENDERSON. He was the dean of the O.N.U. Law School at Ada from1930 to 1940. I have a newspaper death notice which is date-lined 'Kenton, Ohio'. I do not know what newspaper this appeared in nor do I know the date of death or where he is buried nor anything at all about his family or where he may have lived. The clipping also stated that he was a common pleas court judge in Hardin County at one time. I would be interested in finding out if any of the Hardin County Genealogical Society's resources contain biographical information or other vital statistics about William P. HENDERSON and his family. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
