C.M. Herreman Died Last Wednesday April 1928

C.M. Herreman passed to his reward at 6:30am, Wednesday morning, in the presence of his wife and son Charles. He had been suffering from cancer of the bladder for the past two years, and last summer sought relief at the Swedish hospital in Minneapolis. After his return, his condition seemed to improve, but during the past winter he suffered much pain, and only during the last few days was it apparent that he would soon pass the way of all flesh, says the Lamberton Northern Light.

Deceased was born in Cleveland, Ohio, May 23, 1844. When he was six years old, he moved with his parents to Farmington Rock, Wis., the family moving to Marcellon, Wis., two years later. Here he resided until he was seventeen years old, when he went to Janesville, Wis., where he clerked in a county store. While there, he enlisted in Co. B., 22nd Wisconsin Infantry, his enlistment swelling the number to six brothers in the service in the Civil War. After the close of the war, he entered Lawrence College, at Appleton, Wis., teaching a few terms during his college course, to help pay his way. In 1869 he came west, stopping at Mankato, where he worked as a painter and decorator. From there he went to New Ulm, where he was united in marriage to Miss Regena Johnson, which union was blessed with three sons and one daughter, all of who survive him. They are Otis Purcell of Indianapolis, Ind., Addie May King of Pasadena, Calif., Arthur Lyman of Minneapolis, and Charles Boyd of Brookings, S. Dak.

In 1875 he filed on a homestead in Lamberton township, moving onto it the following spring. He made some improvements, but owing to the grasshopper plague, he was granted a leave of absence for six months. For twenty-seven years he was one of Redwood county's successful farmers. When his youngest son was five years old, he lost his wife and later married Sabrina O. Lockwood of Pardeeville, Wisc., who survives him, as does one step-daughter, Mrs. Chloe Este Quinn of San Pedro, Calif.

In 1902 he retired from farming, moving to Lamberton, where he has resided since. In politics he was a staunch Republican. In spiritual matters his ideas were universal reward according to merit. His motto was "God helps him, who helps himself".
