Birth: Jul. 22, 1822
Death: Nov. 21, 1891
Hubbard Hendrickson died at his home on Wallace street last Saturday night. He was the son of James G. Hendrickson and was born in Upper Freehold township July 22d, 1822. He moved to Red Bank in 1868, and lived here up to the time of his death. When he first came to Red Bank he was employed by Thomas Morford, but after a year he opened a machine shop on Bridge avenue and started in business for himself. Here he worked until within few weeks of his death. He enlisted at the breaking out of the Seminole war in 1843, in the company of which General VanVleit of Shrewsbury was lieutenant. He served in the war until its close in 1848, during which time he was wounded twice. Once he was struck behind the ear with an Indian paddle, which made him partially deaf. The second wound was caused by his being cut in the face with a scalping knife by an Indian. The scars of these two wounds he carried to his grave. After this war he resumed his trade until the breaking out of the civil war. Then he devoted all his energies toward equipping and training companies of volunteers from Monmouth county. Mr. Hendrickson was the great-grandson of Robert Morris, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was married in 1852 to Miss Hannah Smith, and had five children, three of whom are dead. The two living children are Misses Lottie and Eva. About three weeks ago Mr. Hendrickson contracted a heavy cold, and not being in very robust health he rapidly failed until his death, which was caused by heart failure. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at two o'clock from the Methodist church, Rev. W. M. White conducting the services, which were largely attended. The pall-bearers were John W. Mount, L. P. Conklin, Mervin Hallim, Joseph Bailey, Hiram Chamberlain and George Foster. The interment was at Fair View. Mr. Hendrickson leaves a very small estate. He had a small amount of life insurance, which will be paid to his widow. Red Bank Register, Wed., Nov. 25, 1891
