Mr. Herring parental godfather was Philip Herring, who was born in Pennsylvania whence he came to Ohio settling in Allen County as a pioneer. George W. Herring was reared on the homestead and has given the greater part of his life to farm work. He spent some time in preparing himself for office work in Valentine Brothers School of Telegraphy and Shorthand at Janesville, Wisc. but while he was yet a student his father sickened and died and his presence was needed at home. The business course was accordingly abandoned. His farm of 80 acres is one of the best kept and most profitable in German Township. There are 10 oil wells in active operation, 5 of which are leased to Mr. Whipple, and 5 to W. L. Russell. Mr. Herring was married April 13, 1899 to Callie F. Sawmiller, daughter of John and Mary Bower Sawmiller, residents of Amanda Twp., Ohio. Mr. Herring has served on the school board and is now a member of the Advisory Board of German Twp. He is a Democrat in politics, and in religion a member of the United Brethren Church of Allentown, Ohio. He is a zealous worker in the church and is serving as treasurer of the Sunday School.
