Leo Herring, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Herring of Taylor County, passed away Monday at a Creston Hospital following an operation and treatment, being fatally injured ten days previous in an automobile accident one and a half miles east of Corning. He was immediately taken to the hospital, where everything was done that medical skill could devise, and it was of no avail, and the sound life went out. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the Fairview Church, the services being conducted by Rev. Frank Reniger of Conway. Interment was made in Prairie Rose Cemetery. Leo Leslie Herring was born in Holt township, Taylor County, March 29, 1903 and was aged 15 years, 7 months, and 28 days. He is survived by his parents, two brothers and five sisters, as follows, Harry G. Herring near Bedford; Roscoe C. of Clarinda, Mrs. Bessie M. DuVall near Conway, Mrs. Della F. Powell of Holt Township, Misses Bertha F. and Lois H, who are at home. Besides his relatives, he leaves a circle of friends at Gravity and Corning where he had attended high school after graduating from the rural school in the class of 1917. He was of a lively turn, with good disposition, which will be sadly missed from the home circle.
