Tragedy touches two families | News, Sports, Jobs

May 8, 2021 Following one of the most gut-wrenching trials to impact Webster County in recent memory, there was a remarkable display of forgiveness and humanity. Not long after the jury submitted its verdict in the Scott County Courthouse in Davenport, Kristine Henderson and Mel Pendleton embraced. Her husband, the Rev. Al Henderson, had been killed by his son, Joshua Pendleton. For that crime, the jury convicted Joshua Pendleton of first degree murder and first degree robbery. District Court Judge Gina Badding will sentence him on June 18. Al Henderson was a beloved figure in the community. He was the senior pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church and the chaplain for the Fort Dodge police and fire departments, the Webster County Sheriff’s Office and Post 7 of the Iowa State Patrol. Those who knew him recall his trademark way of wrapping up a conversation by saying ”carry on.”

2020: A year we won t forget in North Platte | Local

Like a one-sided baseball pennant race, the only drama in choosing the top local stories for 2020 is the race for second place. Let’s face it: COVID-19 was North Platte’s biggest story of the year. It’ll probably be 2021’s biggest story as well. The pandemic permeated virtually everything that happened after February — even the many local examples of “good news” that thankfully broke through the dark clouds of America’s worst health crisis since 1918. So no one will be surprised at The Telegraph’s choice for 2020’s No. 1 story. Feel free to quibble with our lineup for the others; quite honestly, the rest could easily be shuffled in any order.
