Services will be conducted Thursday afternoon, April 5, at 2:30 o'clock, from Meeks Chapel with Rev. H. Kochheim officiating. Interment at Hiawatha Cemetery. Major Herman came to Kansas when he was 16 years old, has lived in Hiawatha for 47 years. He served as Major of Rainbow division , then 35th division of the first World War, was overseas in that capacity for 22 months. Before first world war he was commanding the national guard unit, old Company F, stationed in Hiawatha. After the war he was first elected commander of Homer White Post of the American Legion in Hiawatha. He was first Captain of the National Guard service battery when it was reorganized after World War I. Major Herman served two terms as postmaster of Hiawatha, was in partnership for several years with A. Isaacson in the construction business which was his civilian trade. One of the most handsome of soldiers, Maj. Herman was often mistaken for General John J. Pershing during the first World War when in France. His likeness to the famed general of armies of the United States was striking. He carried his military bearing into his 80th year, although he was stern looking he numbered among his hosts of friends countless children who knew his kindness and gentleness. His death has brought to close a long useful life.
