Two Historic Autographs- Senator John Brooks Henderson, MO signature.
This is from an autograph book. On the back is a second historical
signature- Senator Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana. Page is about 4.5
inches wide and 3.5 inches tall.John Brooks Henderson signed his name here as J. B. Henderson, Missouri. He was born near Danville, VA on November 16, 1826. Later he moved with his parents to Lincoln County, MO. Self schooled he was admitted to the bar in 1844. He was a member of the Missouri House of Representatives as a Democrat in 1848-1850 and 1856-1858. When the Civil War broke out he was commissioned a brigadier general in the State militia. On January 17, 1862, Henderson was appointed to the U.S. Senate as a Unionist to fill the vacancy caused by the expulsion of . Trusten Polk. Later that year, Henderson was elected to a full six year term in the U.S. Senate. Probably Henderson's most noteworthy accomplishment was that as a United States Senator representing a slave state, he co-authored and co-sponsored the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution permanently prohibiting slavery in the United States. He also was one of only seven republi can Senators who voted for the aquittal of President Andrew Johnson during his impeachment trial. Henderson's extraordinary life ended on April 12, 1913 in Washigton, DC.
If one historic signature isn't enough there is a second one on the back of this page. Thomas A. Hendricks signed his name as Thos. A. Hendricks, Ind. Hendricks was born near East Fultonham, Ohio, on September 17, 1819. He moved with his parents to Indiana in 1820. He was a member of theIndiana State House of Representatives in 1848.

Iin 1862 he was elected as a Democrat to the United States Senate, and served from March 4, 1863 to March 4, 1869. He was then elected Governor of Indiana in 1872. He served as Governor from 1873 until 1877.and was the first Democrat Governor elected in the North after the Civil War. Hendricks ran as an unsuccessful candidate for Vice President on the Democratic ticket with Samuel Tildenin in the presidential election of 1876. He ran aga in in 1884, and was elected Vice President of the United States on the Democratic ticket with Grover Cleveland, filling an office that had been vacant since Vice President Chester A.
