After her father's death, her mother, Susannah, brought her and her siblings, John and Jane to Canada and settled in Ontario. Eliza married William Henderson and they settled on Concession Twelve, of Mornington. Of this union twelve children were born. On April 21,1878, William Henderson Sr. died, and his widow was left with eight children. The four older ones had gone to Manitoba. The children at home were too young to manage the farm, which was only one hundred acres. After considerable thought Mrs. Henderson proceeded to sell the stock and implements, and rented the farm. On March 26, 1879, she left Listowel for Manitoba, with eight children. They followed the same route as taken by her two sons two years earlier. From Listowel they went by train to Goderich, then by Iake steamer to Duluth; from Duluth to Fisher's Landing on the Red River by train; then by riverboat to Emerson, Manitoba. Here they were met by her two sons, with oxen and wagon. They went to the William Henderson farm W Yz 32-3-5, where she lived until 1884. During that time, the three younger children attended Parkhill School. The older ones found work in the surrounding district. Dave, Thomas, and Margaret were the ones who attended school. In 1884, Mrs. Henderson homesteaded SW Y2 of 26-6-7W. After she had obtained the patent on her homestead, she sold it, and moved to Morden, where she resided until her death in 1903.
