File:Joseph Henderson (1826-1890) obituary in The Oakley Graphic of Oakley, Kansas on 12 December 1890.jpg

A Pilot's Remarkable Record. A remarkable career has closed with the death last week, of Joseph Henderson, of the Sandy Hook Pilot Service. His record as a pilot is set down as forty-five years, but it probably dates much earlier. He had been in more accidents than any two other pilots in the service. When he was beginning his career he fell from the masthead and had both legs broken and his front teeth knocked out. Not long after he was thrown overboard and had one leg and several ribs broken. Pilots say that during his career he must have had nearly every bone in his body broken. During the war he served as a pilot in Southern waters and there laid the foundation of a considerable fortune.
