      from notes from Pappy Conrad - John married a "Polish girl" and lived in Delaware
      (Dover?). Dad remembers that John and James both visited his parents
      in Williamsport, PA in the early 1950's.

      (John Henderson May1890, Cecilia Spillester May 1897)
      looks like James Costello is a widower in Philadelphia later?
      (yes, from C.A.S files, this is him, family name is Costella)

      Delaware WWI draft registrations:
      Henderson, John James 23 Nov 1890, White, Philadelphia PA
      Wilmington DE# 2

      - order marriage record
      got it, no new info (except exact dateof marriage)

      - find a place (library) with obits

      - order birth certificate
      search of 1889, 1890, 1891 - not found in Philadelphia search #959779

      Note that middle name was listed as James in WWI draft registration
      (and middle initial J in 1910 census) but used middle name of Newton
      later (see son John F's obituary). Supposedly at birth it was John
      Newton like his father, but thenuns changed to a better name of John James.
