IN MEMORIAM
Hugh Henderson,
Community Leader
ONEONTA – Hugh I. Henderson Sr., who dedicated much of his life to the public service of Oneonta and Otsego County, died peacefully at home, following an extended illness, on Friday, April 14, 2017.
He was born March 18, 1937, at Parshall Hospital in Oneonta, the son of Robert L. Henderson Sr. and Marie Elizabeth Henderson.
As a child he lived in Davenport and East Meredith. In 1946, his family moved to a dairy farm on Southside Drive. He graduated from Oneonta High School in 1954.
Hugh and his brother Bob operated the family dairy farm on Southside for more than 50 years, until October 2000, when the brothers sold their cows, ending more than a half-century of this family-owned business.
