She came to Iowa with her parents who settled in Olin.

After the death of her father in the Civil War the family moved to Monticello, Iowa, where she attended school and was graduated from the high school.

Having attended the Iowa State College at Ames for one year, she returned to Monticello and taught for many years in the schools there.

Later after completing a course in Kindergarten training, she taught in a private Kindergarten school in Cedar Raids for some time.

All her later teaching, with the exception of one year in Norfolk, Nebr., was done in the public school of eastern Iowa.

She was always much interested in the welfare of her former pupils and retained that interest to the last.

Miss Herrick was a member of the Congregational church.
