Per his death certificate he was buried in Waterville, Maine. However, upon contacting local Waterville officials and cemeteries his grave location is as of yet not known. One gentleman with Waterville administration checked all the local cemeteries and no record was found. He thought that it may be possible that David might be buried in an old burial ground that is located in Waterville, South of Western Avenue. He did not know who to contact about that and he said some of those graves were moved. David Braid Herd, born in Scotland Aug 30, 1864, died in Augusta, Maine on Dec 16, 1899, were married on Dec 17, 1887, in Watertown Middlesex, Massachusetts and was the first marriage for both David and Annie. David is buried in Waterville Maine, however, the grave location to my knowledge is not known. What is known is that Annie Mackinnon Macleod Herd died of typhoid fever on July 22 1892 in Cleveland just a few months after the birth of their daughter Annie Jane Herd. David and Annie had three children all born in Cleveland, Alexander Mackinnon Herd , Neil Lauchy Herd #114368625 born Feb 11, 1890, died May 16, 1984 in Vancouver and Annie Jane Herd (Annie Macleod Reynolds) #90420415, born April 1st 1892, died 1982 in Lowell, Massachusetts. In September 1899 while the family was living in Winslow, Maine, Alex's Father David Braid Herd was sentenced to eight months in jail for selling liquor and incarcerated at the Kennebec Jail in Augusta, Maine. As reported in the Daily Kennebec Journal (Augusta, Maine) newspaper Nov 2, 1899, with only a short time remaining on his sentence David Braid Herd attempted suicide on Nov 1st, 1899, by cutting his windpipe with a straight razor. Another prisoner had heard a groaning sound and walked into David's dimly lit cell to investigate. The prisoner stepped in something on the floor which turned out to be David's blood and he alerted the guards by screaming for help. Dr. C.S. Christie who lived across the street from the prison assisted by Dr. W.H Harris were able to save David. David's straight razor was confiscated to prevent another attempt. His infant son Wallace F. Herd, who was born in Oct 1899 while David was in jail , died on Saturday Dec 9, 1899. As reported in the Daily Kennebec Journal on Monday Dec 18 1899, David B. Herd, commits suicide again and successfully cuts his throat. David B. Herd, the Winslow man who had alarmed the occupants of the Kennebec jail twice before with his attempts to commit suicide has at last succeeded in his attempt to end his life Saturday (Dec 16, 1899). It was the third and successful attempt of the two months of his trials and at 7:00 o'clock Saturday morning breathed his last. It will be remembered that David Herd was convicted in September of selling liquor in the town of Winslow and the circumstances were such that he was given a sentence of eight months in the Kennebec jail. He was about 35 years of age and the journal understands with a reputation that was not wholly bad but rather that the offense of which he was convicted was the only time which he was ever accused. It was in the first days of November that he made his first attempt to end his life and cut his throat with a razor and it required surgeons to use 37 stitches to close up the wound, and was immediately repentant and wanted to live. He caused no further trouble until about one week ago on Friday morning Dec 8, when he he was being let out of his cell he walked to the edge of the railing outside his cell and threw himself over the railing (from the upper corridor of the jail) to the brick floor about 30 feet below in another attempt to die and again he was unsuccessful for he only broke his left forearm and badly bruised himself. It was a little past 2:00 o'clock in the morning Saturday (Dec 16) when he made his last attempt. Without anything to work with he had broken off a piece of the cover of a tobacco box making a jagged edge. With that he sliced his neck on the left side and in doing so badly injured the jugular vein though not severing it but in the hope to do so. David's second wife was a cousin to his first wife and both his wives shared the same name Annie Mackinnon. Annie #2
