Death of William Herring
The death of William J. Herring, which occurred in this city, Monday morning, May 22, 1905, removed another of the pioneers. He had been affected with heart trouble for some time, and an acute attack of the ailment about a week previous to his demise, occasioned him to take to his bedm, where he lay until the Death angel came. He was buried at the new cemetery, on Wednesday with Masonic homors, after afuneral services at the Christian church by Rev. M.A. Hart.
William J. Herring was born in Albemarle county, Va., October 25, 1825, and came to Callaway county with his parents in 1838, where he lived continuously until his death. In September, 1848, he married Rebecca Knight who survives him. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. J.N. Hook of this county, Mrs. George Baskett, of Chicago, and one son, Silas W. Herring, of this county; two brothers also remain, Gideon C. Herring and Thomas W. Herring, both of whom reside south of Fulton. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and belonged to the Christian church and as well as being honorable and upright in his dealings with his fellow man, was a devout follower of the faith he professed, He loved the right, and let his conscience be his guide, and if William Herring had an enemy on earth, nobody knew it.
