Charles Henderson was an American businessman serving as the 35th Governor of Alabama from 1915 to 1919 and a member of the Democratic Party. Before serving as governor, Henderson was mayor of Troy, Alabama from 1886 to 1906 and played a key role in Troy’s business and civic development. In 1903, Charles Henderson was appointed to the personal military staff of Gov. William D. Jelks as Aide-de-Camp with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of Cavalry in the Alabama National Guard.[1]
After his term as governor, Henderson remained active in the community. In 1937, after a bout with influenza, Henderson suffered a stroke and died at age 76. The public high school and middle school in Troy bear his name.
