Death of R.F. Herring
  
The announcement yesterday
morning of the death at the
Sanatorium in Jackson of Mr. R.F.
Herring, Deputy Sheriff, and
manager of the office at Raymond, 
was a great shock, saddening 
the hearts of all who
knew him.  He had not been
sick long, succumbing after an
operation for appendicitis, which
was complicated with peritonitis.
  Mr. Robert Herring was a 
splendid gentleman, a patriotic,
progressive citizen, a faithful
and consciencious officer.  He
was a man of affairs, being 
interested with his brothers in large
farming operations.  He was held
in very high esteem by all who
knew him—especially loved by
the people of Raymond.  Only a
few months ago he laid to rest
his wife of less than two years.
A beautiful little baby daughter
is left behind, who will never
know a father and mother’s love.
He also leaves a widowed mother,
a brother, Mr. Will Herring, and
two sisters, Mrs. Will S. Wells
and Miss Maude Herring.  There
are many other relatives, who,
with host of friends, will mourn
his departure.  To the bereaved
ones we extend our sincere 
sympathy.
  The funeral was held at his
mother’s home in the country,
where he was laid to rest in the
family grave yard, surrounded by
a great crowd of interested friends
from many parts of the county.
Dr. King of Jackson conducted
the funeral services.  His mound
was literally deluged with
beautiful flowers.
