Marshal (Ben) Dunn, Moses father bought a farm at Sampson County NC and Henderson and wife Martha moved in with them to help them with his farm. Dad remembers Henderson taking down an old hymnal and sing the notes. This type of singing is called Sacred Heart music. Dad said he tried to teach the note shapes Do, Rae, Me, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do.

Mose remembers his dad, his grandfather and all his brothers working the farm together. Mose remembers his dad dying in July 1944. Mose was serving in the Army during WWll when his father died and he couldn't go to the funeral. He remembers Henderson stayed on with the family and remembered his grandfather Henderson had never went to a Doctor in his entire life. It was on a hot day his grandpa and his brothers was working at the pond pulling bramble bushes on the pond bank and all of them got too hot. That night his grandfather Henderson got sick. The next day his grandpa Henderson ask to be taken to the doctor. The doctor examined him and told him he had a long run of being healthy but he was going to die within two weeks. He told him the cause of his death would be exhaustion from old age. and Henderson died Dec 12, 1944, two weeks later. </ref> Buried at Pete Grady Cemetery.
