In 1852, with no capital but an indomitable will and six dollars in money, he started for California by the overland route, driving an ox team of five yoke of cattle from Burlington, Iowa to Sacramento, California, where four years of his life were passed in the occupation of mining. Returning in 1856 to Ohio, he entered the mercantile profession as a clerk, which occupation he followed for about four years. While in the army he was captain of a militia company, and participated in the campaign having for its object the capture of the confederate General Morgan, who was raiding in that state. In 1866 Mr. Hendrie returned to Iowa, going to Montgomery County and from there in 1868 to Mills County. He was married to Miss M. Burkett of Council Bluffs.
