Henry's death certificate states that he had lived 18 years at his place of death. Cause was a fractured leg, with old age and shock as contributory factors. He was a widower at the time of death. Petition for Letters of Administration filed 17 Mar 1924, Tulare Co., CA. He died intestate. Names of next of kin and heirs at law were widow, Fannie Landers; G.W. Landers, age 42, son, residing at Porterville; T.H. Landers, age 29, son, resident at Laverne, CA; Etta Murrell age 22, daughter, residing at Strathmore; and Bertha Kincaid, age 10, daughter of Jessie Kincaid, deceased daughter, residing at Porterville. He owned an unimproved lot at the West 62.5 feet of East 125 feet of North 124 feet of Lot 14 of Swastika Subdivision. He is buried in the Old Porterville Cemetery. I have photos of his gravestone.
In an interview with Archie Landers on 5 June 1994, he said that his family came from Missouri to California in 1905 and stayed about a year, then went back to Missouri for a year. In 1907, after the big San Francisco earthquake, they came back, by train, to stay. This time they brought some Duncans with them - Arthur and Grant Duncan. They married sisters - Cynthia married Arthur. He didn't remember exactly how they were connected, but knew that Cynthia was Walter Landers'"cousin".
The census listed Henry Landers as a farmer.
The death of the fifth child of Henry Landers and Susanna Worley was the result of Susanna having yellow jaundice.
After the death of Henry's wife Susanna Worley, he married Fanny Sophia Arms Pardue (mother of his son in law Porter Pardue) on July 19, 1909 in Visalia, Tulare County, California. Henry's age was listed as 48 years and Fanny's age listed as 55 on the marriage certificate.
The marriage did not last long as it was stated by Etta Landers Murrell (youngest child of Henry Landers) that Henry did not like supporting Fanny's grown son Curtis Pardue.
According to records of the Tulare County Clerk, Visalia, California dated March 12, 1980, there was no dissolution of the marriage of Henry Landers and Fanny Sophia Arms.
