Mrs. Mary F. Herring Dead
Passed Away Sunday at Age of 83 Years With All Her Children Still Living
The death of Mrs. Mary Frances Herring, 83 years old, shortly after midnight, Saturday, revels that the eight children born to her are still living, a very unusual coincidence. The death of Mrs. Herring occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lou Roberts, of Bluff street, with whom she had been making her home for sometime, from asthma and bronchitis. She had been suffering with these aliments for about three months.
Mrs. Herring, whose maiden name was Simcoe, was born in Callaway county, February 1, 1836 and was married to Dabney Carver Herring, February 26, 1857. He preceeded her in death 23 years ago. Besides Mrs. Roberts, she is survived by the folling sons and daughters: Mrs. J. L. Henderson of Fulton; Mrs. Mollie Hyten of Carrington, Mrs. Henry Jatho and Mrs. J.H. Mirts of the Mt. Carmel neighborhood, Tom of Dixie, Brooks of Kansas City and Guy of Elk City, Oklahoma.
A brother, Dirrett Simcoe, is at the point of death at his home near Centralia. Other brothers and sisters surviving are: James of Slater, John of near Thompson, Mrs. Lucy Herring of Fulton, Mrs. Harry Sacre of St. Louis, Mrs. R.A. Wright of Calwood and Mrs. Susan LaRue of Concord. She also leaves fourteen grandchildren and one great grandchild.
Mrs. Herring was a splendid woman of the eary day type, and all who knew her loved her for her unselfish traits and her neighborly, motherly disposition. Her passing will be mourned by many. She has been a member of the Christian church all of her life.
Funeral services were held at five o'clock Sunday afternoon, at the Mt. Carmel Methodist church. Rev. W. Garnet Alcorn, officiating and burial was in the church cemetery.
