Correspondent: Clara M. (Lloyd) Henderson (1874–1966) was a White woman from the Canton, Ohio, area, widowed by 1904, who along with her daughter Marie Henderson (1895–1985) rented the apartment at 1269 Lakeview Rd. from Chesnutt from 1921 until at least 1931; her son Frederick F. Henderson (1893–1966) also seems to have lived with them, but is not mentioned in the correspondence.
1. The surviving correspondence with Clara and Marie Henderson from 1921 to 1930 exclusively concerns the collection of their rent for 1269 Lakeview Road. [back]
2. By 1913, Chesnutt had filed for a building permit for an apartment at 1267 Lakeview Road in Cleveland, and by 1921, he was renting out four separate apartments at 1267–1269 Lakeview. Correspondence with two parties survive: From 1921 to Chesnutt's death in 1932, Clara Henderson and her daughter lived at 1269, and from 1930 to 1932, Robert A. Dill lived at 1267. The structure no longer exists. [back]
