Remarkable Tribute to Former Speaker Henderson in Dubuque
The funeral of former Speaker David B. Henderson in Dubuque featured a citywide pause as bells tolled for five minutes after services began. Elks escorted the body to St John’s Episcopal Church where a guard of honor stood, with many floral tributes and a eulogy by Hon. George D. Perkins of Sioux City. Military and veterans groups led the processions, and the Iowa General Assembly sent committees headed by Lt. Gov. Herriot and Speaker Clark.
