New York, 1895

John G. Hendrickson, a life long resident of the village of Jamaica, died suddenly at North Eppig, N. H., on Sunday evening. He left Jamaica Thursday evening with Charles E. Twombly, for a visit to Mrs. Sarah F. Wright, Mr. Twombly's sister. Sunday evening Mr. Hendrickson was conversing with Mrs. Wright when he was suddenly taken with a fainting fit and cramps in his left leg. A physician was called, but his services were of no avail. Mr. Hendrickson was conscious, and knowing that his end was near bade farewell to all about him. He was the youngest son of the late Barnardus Hendrickson. He was 54 years old. He leaves a widow, and a son and daughter, who reside in Bridgeport, Conn.

The body was brought to Jamaica on Wednesday. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon. The interment was in the family plot in Springfield Cemetery.
