From the Governor of Wyoming, Francis E. Warren, in 1885. Thomas Hendricks is the lone U.S. Vice President (who was never President) whose likeness appears on United States paper currency. His engraved portrait appears on the 'tombstone' $10.00 silver certificate of 1886.
A proclamation by the Governor. I am pained to announce to the people of Wyoming the death of the Vice President of the United States, which occurred at the city of Indianapolis at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The sudden and unexpected death of that able statesman, Thomas A. Hendricks will shock and deeply grieve the people of this great nation ... Done at Cheyenne, ... this 25th day of November, A. D. 1885. Francis E. Warren.
