I
have an old postcard photograph of Carl HERRING which was taken in 1918 at the
F. A. Mack & Bro. Studio in Pottsville, PA. Carl appears to be about 1 year
old at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able
to gather the following information regarding Carl and his family:
?
Carl
Albert HERRING was b. 15 Dec 1917 in Wayne Township, Schuylkill Co., PA to
parents Andrew Jackson HERRING (1877-1968) and Hannah Rebecca FEHR (1880-1953)
who were married 14 Feb 1903 in Schuylkill Co., PA.? Carl was one of three children born to this
couple including Paul Jonathan; Grace Irene; and Carl Albert HERRING, all born
between 1903 and 1917.? It appears that
Carl’s father was married previously and had a daughter Ethel M. HERRING
(1901-1938).? Carl married Naomi Lorraine
REED (1920-1988) on 11 Mar 1939 in Schuylkill Co., PA and they had four
children, two boys and two girls.
?
Carl
died 11 May 2000 in Pottsville, PA and is buried in the Schuylkill Memorial
Park Cemetery in North Manheim Township, Schuylkill Co., PA.? Carl’s obituary lists his surviving family
members including two sons, Guy HERRING of Allentown, PA and Dale HERRING of
Pine Grove, PA, and two daughters Shirley HIRST of Newark, DE and Faye ANDERSON
of Friedensburg, PA.
?
I
am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned
to the care of family.? If you are a
member of this HERRING Family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
