THE DEATH ROLL
Col. R. G. Herron
Col. Richard G. Herron died Saturday morning at his residence, 5433 Howe 
street, East End.  He had only been ill since Thursday.  Col. Herron was born 
in Pittsburgh sixty years ago.  His father was one of the pioneers of 
Pittsburgh, and at one time owned the whole Thirteenth ward. Herron hill and 
Ft. Herron are both named for the family. Col. Herron early in life learned 
the drug business and followed it for many years.  He was also a heavy 
stockholder in the Wylie avenue street car line, and before it was bought by 
the Central Traction Company was its president.  He represented the Thirteenth 
ward in select council for many years.  He joined the army at the beginning of 
the late war and by good work on the field rose to the rank of colonel.  
Colonel Herron’s wife died three years ago, but his three daughters and one 
son, Dr. Richard G. Herron, survive him.  The funeral will take place from the 
family residence this afternoon.
