When four years of age his parents moved to Illinois, where the family lived until 1870. In that year his father came to Clay county Kansas, and entered into general business in Wakefield, becoming the first merchant of the then new city. After getting well settled he sent for his family, who joined him that same year, making the trip overland in charge of the two boys, Sidney and Herbert, then aged respectively fifteen and thirteen years. After about four years in town they took up a homestead near by, built a house upon it, and went to farming. This farm was Herbert's home from that time until about fifteen years ago, when by reason of a sunstroke, he found it impossible to longer bear the intense heat in the open fields. He therefore gave up farming and moved into town where he has been in business ever since. At the time of his death he was agent for the Continental Creamery, and also did a considerable business in power pumps. During the past six months he had turned all of the latter business over into the son Charles' hands, himself attending to the growing cream business. In 1884 he married Miss Margaret Sanders, and that union was blessed with six children, five of whom Christine, Frederick, Flora, Charles and Marian, are still living. The manner of his death, while of the most dreadful nature, and of a character to terrify and harrow the souls of relatives and friends, was yet instantaneous, and undoubtedly painless. His neighbors and fellow citizens sincerely mourn his untimely taking off in the fullness of his vigor and usefulness. As a citizen he was ever peace loving and influential in all civic matters to which he gave his support. As a neighbor he always manifested a most kindly and generous spirit, open hearted, quietly doing what he could to promote good fellowship and good will by his example. As a husband and father he was ever loving, kind, indulgent, ready to efface self and minister to their happiness. A good citizen, a warm friend, a kindly neighbor, a loving husband and father -- these characteristics constitute an epitaph which he has written himself in the hearts of those who best knew him. He was a member of the M.W.A. A large crowd attended the funeral which was held at St. George's Episcopal church of which he and the entire family are devoted members, conducted by Rev. R.O. McIntosh of Springfield, Mo. From the church the body was taken to its last resting place in Highland cemetery.
