Obituary of Oscar Hendee published in the Portland Observer, Aug. 4, 1897.
Oscar P. Hendee, who resides near Collins in this township, died at his home very suddenly on Sunday evening last about eight o'clock, while sitting in a chair in his sitting room talking with members of his family, among them Charles Staley of this village.
Mr. Hendee had suffered for some time with heart trouble among other complications, and only last week Dr. Alton, who was attending him, told him he must make up his mind to get things in shape for the future, stop working with his hands and prepare to take things easy the balance of his life. This admonition was brought about by the fact that Mr. Hendee had been a tremendous worker all his life; although possessed of but one arm, he could and did do more work than the majority of men with two hands and arms. He was also taking measures to heed the warning, for on Friday last he had his will drawn, and his business was in as good shape as possible.
Mr. Hendee was a successful farmer and one of the most prominent ones in Portland township and was possessed of considerable means, both in farms and outside of them.
Deceased was born at Pontiac, Mich., August 21, 1839.
He enlisted in Sept. 1861, in the 8th Mich. Inf. Just after the Battle of the Wilderness he was promoted to first lieutenant.
In August, 1864, at Weldon Railroad, he was wounded in the right arm, making amputation necessary.
After the war Mr. Hendee accepted a commission as second lieutenant in the 18th U.S. regulars, afterwards being transferred to the 36th, where he was made first lieutenant, and served about a year, his regiment acting as guard for the workmen building Union Pacific railroad, and during the time he was with them nearly 200 were killed by the Indians.
A wife and four children: Ida, Lillie, Ethel and Lee survive him.
He was an honorable, upright man and good citizen.
He was a member of the A.O.U.W. of Portland, in which he carried $2,000 insurance, and also of John Megarah Post, G.A.R. of Portland.
He was a justice of the peace, and his time would have expired next July.
Funeral services were conducted from the house on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Bower officiating, the services being in charge of the A.O.U.W., of which deceased had long been a member, and interment made in Portland cemetery in accordance with the rites of the order.
