thanks, @Night-Gaunt49! I was reading through to see if someone would get it right. Hendersons (because presumably there is more than one Henderson at the residence) and it belongs to all of them. Hence, Hendersonsā or the box of the Hendersons.
And presumably there is more than one bagel available. But even soāFresh Bagelsā is not correct in this instance, either. (Oops. Two spaces between sentences. And I just keep doing that. Old habits die hardābut not hardly.)
How about the one that no one mentioned? āOurāsā? That can NEVER be correct under any circumstances UNLESS your name is āOurā and you want to show ownership. Never happen! And, btw, I always have and, since Iām 75yo, I guess that I always will, use two spaces! Not enought time left to convince me to change!

Itās āthe Hendersonsā mailboxā (more than one Henderson, so possessive apostrophe AFTER the plural).
If there were only one Henderson, it would be āHendersonās mailboxā, not āthe Hendersonsā mailboxā.
