In Celebration of Reg.#11912, Ernest Henderson - Age 106




In Celebration of Reg.#11912, Ernest Henderson

Oldest Living Member of the RCMP @ 106 years

In the last few days, the following messages were received from the family of Ernest Henderson.

'Hi Joe,

I know that your website mainly focuses on graves but I thought it would be interesting for your readers to know that my husband's grandfather just turned 106 and was an RCMP officer. His name is Ernest Henderson.

Mr. Henderson served in various places in Alberta - most notably Drumheller. He presently lives in High River, AB and still has great stories to tell of working. He didn't work that long as an RCMP because it didn't pay enough and he couldn't marry in those days. We will send you some pictures.

Truly, Kristin Hillenbrand [hillenbrand@shaw.ca]'

and message number two:

'Hi Joe,

Here are a few pictues for your readers. The first photo (top) was taken at 'Depot' Division, Regina in 1933. The picture below (Musical Ride) was taken in 1934 in Vancouver, BC.

Yours truly,

Rob Henderson [robhenderson@shaw.ca]'


All Vets also join you to celebrate the life of 'Ernie' Henderson. We can truly call him Senior Man. My sincere thanks to Kristin and Rob for these memorable photos.

More about Cst. Henderson's life will be written in our Vet. of the Month segment of the website.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your note. Please be assured that I will reply, but some e-mails require a little more research and time or reflection. If your comment hinges on policy for graves, the e-mail may have to be referred to the RCMP for an authoritative response.
