Henderson, William D.
William D. Henderson (December 31, 1845 - May 5, 1920) wasa Scottish-American lithographer. Born in Scotland, Henderson came to the United States in his youth and joined the lithographic firm Ehrgott and Forbriger as an errand boy. He had risen to the position of secretary when Adolph K. Krebs (1831 - September 15, 1884) assumed control to the company in 1874. Henderson left Krebs Lithographing Company in 1885 to form his own firm with Fred Achert (1847 - 1928) call the Henderson-Achert Company. The Henderson-Achert Company operated until 1890, when a fire destroyed it. Instead of rebuilding the firm from scratch, Henderson elected to purchase the Krebs Lithographing Company, and renamed it Henderson-Achert-Krebs. Achert left in 1896 to form his own company, the Achert Lithographic Art Company. With Achet's departure, Henderson changed the firm's name to the Henderson Lithographing Company, which operated until it Strobridge bought it in 1925. Strobridge elected to keep the Henderson name until the 1930s. Henderson died of pneumonia while visiting his daughter in Chicago.
