"Those who recall the quaint, old-fashioned figure of Jona Herron as he, drove about our streets are reminded that they were wont to critic txe one who was unwilling- to spend upon himself tN wealth that be believed he held in trust for other.

Edward F. Hodge Recalla Hla Plain Life and Quiet Purpo Never Revealed Till Death. Mr. Edward F. Hodges, to "An Ap preciation of John Herron." spoke In part as follows: "Very few persons now living can sup ply the facts bearing upon the antecedents and early life of John Herron.

It Is fortunate, however, that whatever la Important for the purpose of thl sketch ta accessible through th kindness of his long-time friend and executor, Ambrose P.

In a cotton factory and on his father a farm, meanwhile getting such limited instruction aa tb villag achool afforded. "Here waa tbe home of the family for thirty years. Later hia father moved to Cincinnati, but only to live there for a few months, after which the family aet-tled at Mt Carmel. which was to be their home for the rest of their Uvea "They were a united and, loving household, comprising tas fatter, mother aad five chiHren John.

It is noteworthy that the family eeamed one destined to extinction, for of tbe five children sil died chilJlese or unmarried, tie parents dying within a few months of each other, following bene two of their chiHren. John Herron married Miss Electa D. who died in 1sl: childless, and no children were born of the marriage of hla brother Geonre.

It la cot strange I that Mr. Herron should decide that thai home at Mt Carmel could no longer be th abiding place ef the poor remnant of the household and that what remained of life for htm. his wife and bis sister should be passed elsewhere, that among nyjb aurroundjnga and new pursuits he csustTorget the toll and the bereaveoent associated with tbe old home.
