Death of Hurlbert Smith Herrington.

  At his home in Latrobe on Saturday, February 3, Hurlbert Smith 
Herrington died of pneumonia, aged 35 years.  He was a son of H. 
Herrington, of Osborne station, and a grandson of S. H. Smith, who 
practically reared him, and was well known in Altoona.  He had been ill 
less than a week.  In referring to his death, the Latrobe Advance says: 
"Hurlbert Smith Herrington was a young man of bright prospects.  He was 
a skilled machinist and had worked all over the country in the years 
past.  He went into business here for a while, but sold out and took a 
place at the steel works, where he worked his way to a position of 
responsibility in the machine shop.  Personally he was genial and 
pleasant, an interesting talker and a true and loyal friend.  He was a 
member of the Knights of Pythias, the Masons and the Heptasophs, in 
which latter order he carried a $2,000 insurance policy.
