Murray Henderson was a philanthropist who started and operated his own funeral home.
He later studied as an apprentice at the John A. Barrett Funeral Home.
Henderson started his funeral home business in the backyard of his home with two sets of horses and a horse drawn carriage.
In 1913, with the help of other family members, he was able to move the location of the funeral home.
He even buried many of those who died from this devastating illness at little or no cost at all.
