HERRING Athens Banner, Athens, Georgia, Tuesday morning, January 26, 1892 Transcribed by C. Epps Bond October 5, 2005 MR. JOHN N. HERRING ----- Dies at his home in East Athens. Tuesday morning at 8:30 o’clock Mr. John N. Herring, a most estimable citizen of East Athens, died after a two week illness. Mr. Herring was about thirty-five years of age, and had been an employee of the Athens manufacturing company since childhood. At the time of his death he was in charge of the wool department, which position he has most satisfactorily filled for the past eight years. Mr. Herring about three years ago connected himself with St. Mary’s Episcopal church, of which he has since been an exemplary member. He was also a member of the Old Fellows, to which order he was greatly attached. For a number of years he was a member of Williams Lodge, but when Clarke Lodge was organized, he withdrew from Williams and become a charter member of that Lodge. At the organization of Clarke Lodge, Mr. Herring was elected Treasurer, which position he has ever since filled with credit to himself. He was also an active member of Oliver Encampment of Odd fellows, of this city. Mr. Herring leaves a widow and five children to mourn his death. The funeral will occur at the late residence on Herring Street, this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. Odd Fellows rites will be observed at his burial. Additional Comments: DOD: Used obit date.
