DEATH OF JOE HERMAN.
Former Tipton Man Expired at Marion Last Saturday.

The death of Captain Joseph A.
Herman at ten minutes before one
o'clock a. m., on Saturday, was not
unexpected by those who had
known him for several years. It
was known that he had been stead­-
ily failing, for some time, his ail­-
ments being such as would sap the
vitality of the strongest constitu-­
tion.
Capt. Herman was born on May
19, 1844, In Shelby county, Ohio.,
and saw service in Company F, 46 th
Indiana volunteers. Decedent en-­
tered the Marion Branch in March,
1904. In April 1906, he applied for
a position as sergeant in No. 4, Capt.
Wells, company commander. He was
duly, appointed sergeant, and was
afterward Sergeant of No. 9, No. 12
and No. 7. Some three years ago he
was appointed captain, and assigned
to barrack No. 3, where he served
until his death. He was a man gen-­
erally liked by officers and mem-­
bers, and his death deplored. He is
survived by his widow, Mrs. Her­-
man, whose home is in Jonesboro;
two daughters, Mrs. Dansby and
Mrs. Leeds of Pensacola, Fla., and a
sister, Mrs. Eliza Banta, of Logansport,
and a stepson, whose home is
in Jonesboro. He was a member
of the G. A. R. and the Loyal Order
of Moose, and it is expected that he
will be buried under Grand Army
auspices, Tuesday, June 15 Mar­-
ion Leader.
Mr. Herman formerly resided at
Tipton, living there for a number of
years and during a portion of this
time he was the superintendent of
the city water works. Mr. Herman
was a plumber by trade, and work-­
ed at that line of employment in
this city. He was a man of genial
parts, always courteous and he made
friends. After the death of his
1st wife, who had been an invalid
for many years, he went to the
home at Marion. Later he was mar-­
ried at that place and his home was
at Jonesboro, although he retained
his rights at the home for the vete-
rans.
