She was the last Henderson to be born in and to occupy "Ashland," home of Richard Henderson and built by his father Samuel. After Alf's death, she moved to Danville, VA to live with "adopted" daughter Kate Lewis Scales and her husband John Noble Wyllie. She died there of old age at 84. During the Civil War, she stayed at Confederate Headquarters in Richmond and was more than once under Union fire. For years her grave at Green Hill Cemetery had gone unmarked.
