Andrew Herington was the son of Isaac Ely Herington, Sr. (1819-1901) who was born in Ralls County, Missouri; and Jane A. (Fisher) Herington (1825-1904) who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Andrew's mother came to the United States with her parents, Andrew and Jane (McLaren) Fisher, when she was 11 years old. The Fisher family made their way to Salt River Township of Knox County, Missouri, where they settled on a farm.
Jane Fisher met Isaac Herington in this county and were married in Knox County in 1846. In the 1850 census of Knox County, Jane and Isaac Herington and their first two children (Andrew and James) were living with Jane's parents, the Fishers.
Andrew was the oldest of 10 known children of his parents. His siblings were:
James Marion Herington 1848-1923
Christian Eleanor "Ellen" (Herington) Gentry 1850-1933
Isaac Ely "Dike" Herington, Jr. 1852-1891
Nancy "Nammie" Herington 1854-1856
Samuel Clark Herington 1857-1921
Susan J. (Herington) Lovingier 1859-1943
Joshua Herington, Sr. 1862-1935
Jennifer Jane "Jennie" (Herington) Bowen 1864-1955
Elizabeth "Betty" (Herington) Smith 1868-1955
On February 2, 1869, in Knox County, Missouri, Andrew married Laura Walker. They had 5 children but 4 died as infants. The child who survived was:
Dr. Warner Herington 1871-1952
Wife Laura died at the age of 27, on November 10, 1873. Her son Warner was only 2 years old. Laura was buried in New Harmony Cemetery at Sue City, Macon County, Missouri (which is near Knox County) next to her 4 infants.
Eleven months after Laura's death, on October 11, 1874, Andrew married his second wife, 21-year-old Rebecca Holiday who was originally from Kentucky. By 1880, they had moved to Gallatin County, Montana. They were listed in the census of that year living in the "Lower Yellowstone and White Beaver" area. Andrew's occupation was listed as "Freighter." Andrew's son, Warner, from his previous marriage, was age 9 at this time and was the only child listed in the home. The Heringtons were either running a boarding house or living in one as there were 6 other single men living in the household with them at this time, according to the census - a saloon keeper, farmer, teamster, stock grower, storekeeper, and blacksmith.
Shortly after this, the Heringtons apparently moved to Arizona, as their only known child who lived to adulthood was born the next year in that state:
Sadie (Herington) Shafer 1881-1930
From available records, it appears that Andrew and Rebecca divorced within the next 4 years after Sadie's birth and that Rebecca remarried. This assumption is based on the fact that Andrew remarried again in 1884, and also because the 1900 census of Sugar Creek Township of Poweshiek County, Iowa shows 19-year-old Sadie Herington living with her mother Rebecca Caudle, her step-father Jacob Caudle, and younger step-brother John Caudle age 17. This 1900 census shows that Rebecca and Jacob Caudle had been married for 2 years, making the date of their marriage 1898. This census also shows, interestingly, that Rebecca has had 9 children but only 1 (Sadie) is living as of 1900. Therefore, it appears, incredibly, that during Rebecca's marriage to Andrew Herington, they lost 8 children (or it is possible one or more of these children were lost during the 2 years she had been married to Mr. Caudle at this time).
Andrew's third wife was named Minnie N. (maiden name unknown). The 1900 census shows that Andrew and Minnie had been married for 16 years, making the year of their marriage 1884. In this census, Andrew, now 53, and Minnie, age 34, were living back in Missouri. They resided in the village of Green City in Sullivan County. No one else was in the household, so it does not appear they had any children together.
This 1900 census was taken on June 2 of that year. Less than one month after that, Minnie died, on July 14, 1900. She was buried at Green City Cemetery, Sullivan County, Missouri.
Four months after Minnie's death, on November 20, 1900, in Green City, Missouri, Andrew married for the fourth time, and to another woman named Laura. She was 28-year-old Laura V. (Colvin) Myers, a divorcee who lived in Quincy, Illinois, and was employed as a seamstress. It does not appear that Laura had any children by either of these husbands.
Andrew worked as a stock cattle handler/hauler and made his base in Green City, Missouri, where he was a well-known citizen. On Sunday, January 27, 1918, Andrew, at age 70, was on a train hauling a large shipment of livestock to St. Louis with another man named John Propst. They had two car loads of hogs and three cars of cattle. The train stopped at the depot in Quincy, Illinois, where Andrew lived part-time with his wife Laura in an apartment. While at the depot, Mr. Propst said he noticed that Andrew was not looking well. He asked Andrew if he was sick, and Andrew said that he was. But, Andrew said he would go to the home of his wife there in Quincy.
Laura said at about 11:00 a.m. on that day, she heard footsteps on the stairs outside her apartment but did not know who it was. Then, the door to her apartment opened, and, to her great surprise, her husband fell through the doorway onto the floor without saying a word. She had not known he was in town. Laura called her neighbors Mrs. Katie Montague and Mr. and Mrs. Robe Bueter who came immediately and helped her lift Andrew onto the couch, but he could not be revived. A call was made to the train depot asking for any men from Kirksville or Green City, Missouri. Mr. Propst answered the page as he was from Kirksville, and was informed that Mr. Herington had dropped dead at the home of his wife.
An inquest was conducted by the coroner. Andrew's son Dr. Warner Herington of Green City, testified that his father suffered from chronic neuralgia of the stomach, but it was his opinion that his father died of a cerebral hemorrhage. The coroner's jury returned the verdict in accord with this opinion.
Andrew was a 32nd degree Mason and was affiliated with the Green City lodge.
He was buried at Green City Cemetery in Sullivan County, Missouri.
