He died of liver cancer in the old Christie hospital and son Angus said he turned yellow. His coffin lay open in the living room for about 2 days and then a contingent from the 48th Highlanders came and took the coffin away in a hearse.

From booklet on Dawes Road Gospel Church ("I Had a Dream")
"I noticed Mrs. Alex Henderson as my mind was forcibly brought back to the service at hand. She was seated with her daughters Alice and Margaret. Six year old Angus Henderson (we called him "deacon") was standing at the back with his dad. I noticed them and my heart went out in gratitude as I wonce more gazed upon the man who gave Dawes Road Mission a chance. It was in 1932 in Mr. Henderson's home that Ernest Ranney and I (John Russell) were able under God to keep the Gospel message alive in that neighbourhood. Others had lost faith. Others had quit but Brother Henderson experienceing the joy of salvation wasnted the neighbourhood to find Christ too. He gave the impetus to the work, allowing us to use his home on Dawes Road. It became crowded every Sunday afternoon with little children who wanted to learn of Christ and a blessed time was experienced; so much so, that we had to look for larger quarters."

Angus said his father was only saved about 5 years before he died. He had gone to the mission on Dawes Road; a Scottish man, Mr. Hay, spoke and Alexander got saved. He came home and threw out his pipes, tobacco and liquor; he was a changed man. His wife thought he had lost his mind. She didn't get saved for about 2 years. He revived the Friday night happy hour and usually had 30 - 40 kids. He build special benches and in their house, took down the French doors between the living and dining rooms to make on large room. The happy hour outgrew the house and it was moved to Dawes and Gower Avenue, which it outgrew. Then Dawes Road Associated Gospel church was built. Because of Angus's health, the family moved to Monarch Park. They then went looking for a church. They tried a Pentecostal church (Waves of Glory hymnbook), then Greenwood Gospel Hall where they stayed. The got a letter of commendation from Forward Baptist Church (which sponsored the Dawes Road Mission) to Greenwood.

Christie Street Veterans' Hospital
Christie Street at Melita Avenue
On this site stood the Christie Street Veteran’s Hospital, originally the National Cash Register Company Factory. In 1919 the factory was converted to the Military Orthopaedic Hospital. Although most of the soldiers had lost limbs in World War I (1914 -1918), a few residents had been disabled in the Boer War (1899 - 1902) and the Fenian raids of 1866. In 1936 the name was changed to the Christie Street Veterans’ Hospital. The influx of wounded veterans during World War II (1939 - 1945) caused overcrowding in the already inadequate facility. This led to the construction, in 1948, of Sunnybrook Hospital. The Christie Street building was then occupied by a seniors’ home, Lambert Lodge, named in honour of Padre Lt. Col. Sidney Lambert S.M. O.B.E., a veteran of both World Wars. Demolished in 1981, it made way for the construction of the Christie Gardens Apartments and Care facility.
