He was an original Abolitionist and there are many colored men yet living who gratefully remember the aid he rendered them in their flight for liberty. He was a open-hearted and useful citizen, and although having attained the ripe old age of 80, will be missed not only by his family but by the members of the community in which he so long lived and to which his life was a most valuable one. His funeral occurred on Sunday afternoon and was largely attended, the services being conducted by the Rev. Mr. Westervelt. The remains were interred in the family lot in the new cemetery. Athens Messenger (OH) Thursday, November 21, 1889. page 5, column 2 From "Athens Home Coming," Athens, Ohio, 1904. (out of copyright). Joseph Herrold was born in Ames Township (then Washington County), February 23, 1809. His father's death required him to be self-supporting at the early age of thirteen at which time he worked as a farm hand at $8.00 per month. He worked on the Ohio Canal, and in 1834 built a flat-boat and ran it to Cairo, Ill., on the Ohio River, for Captain Bingham. In 1836 he began work as a bridge builder and continued at this until 1849. He purchased and rebuilt the mill known as "Herrold's Mill." He went to California in 1850. In 1854 he built the woolen mills at Athens, and in 1858, purchasing a large tract of coal land at the mouth of Monday Creek, he engaged extensively in shipping coal. In 1860 he purchased the Ballard Salt Works and manufactured salt until 1880. Later he went to California for the second time.
