Relatives from a distance were promptly notified, and the funeral was held this Wednesday afternoon, from the U.P. Church, of which he was an active and devoted member. The services were in charge of the pastor, Rev W.C. Williamson, assisted by Rev J.M. Williams, the Methodist minister, and attended by a large concourse of people, Dr. Herron having attained a large circle of friends since he and Mrs. Herron came and started their Chiropractic office something like two years ago.
