Biographical Note
Lloyd Chamberlain Henning was born in Illinois to Albert Ernest and Kate E. (Chamberlain) Henning on November 15, 1885, moved to Arizona in 1889 with his father, step-siblings, and stepmother, Cecilia Marie Fearon (1858-1937), and was raised in Navajo County and Apache County. In 1904 he served as editor of St. Johns Snips and Herald. In 1905 he became owner and publisher of the Winslow Mail. In 1908 he was defeated in his bid for election as Probate Judge, but was elected Clerk of the Superior Court in 1914.
Henning was employed at the Holbrook branch of the Navajo County Bank from 1909 until 1916, when he established the Lloyd C. Henning Insurance Company. In 1912 a group of investors that included Henning purchased the Arizona Electric Telephone Company. Henning became sole proprietor in 1921 and changed the name to Navajo Apache Telephone Company. The following year he was appointed Director of the First National Bank of Holbrook.
Henning was elected Mayor of Holbrook in 1933 and also served on the Holbrook Board of Supervisors until 1936. He was Chairman of the Navajo County Federal Relief Agencies and Navajo County Board of Public Welfare. In 1941 Henning was elected to the Arizona State Senate and served until 1948. Henning was also active in fraternal organizations, serving as Grand Master of the Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona and as District Governor of the Rotary in 1927-1928.
Henning married Esther Elizabeth Rose Hess (1889-1940) and the couple had two children, Billie Ilon (Henning) Sutherland (1915-2010) and Robert Arthur (1919-2006). Lloyd C. Henning died in April of 1968.
