Thomas W., Judge Herring Abt 75 19 Dec 1922 Fulton Telegraph, Callaway Weekly Gazette Name: Thomas Herring Birth Date: 1845 Death Date: 1922 From Tom Fisher: The Thomas W. Herring that married Mary Hardin is the son of James C. Herring. He was raised on the Herring Mill farm, which was very close to the Hardin farm. I was raised on a farm about 1 mile from there on the farm originally owned by John M. Simcoe, youngest of the children of James and Frances Simcoe. I have the obituary of Thomas W. Herring and it clearly says that he married Mary Hardin nearly half a century ago. They had one child: Williard Herring, who was living in Laramie, Wyo. when his father died. Thomas Herring was a judge of the Callaway county court from 1905 to 1915. He later moved to Auxvasse where he died and is buried. death notice gave Dec 19, 1922, actual death was Dec 20, from death certificate. He died at 2:45 a.m. on the 20th, probably why other sources give the 19th.
