To the Editor Of tie Journals
The Hon. Thomas w. Herrick whose death
was recently announced in the Journal, was
born in Harmony, Maine, July 20, 1876 and
was one of twelve children, six of whom, with
the parents, have passed away from earth.
He spent the years OF his childhood and youth
ON the farm with his father, and did not pre-
mare for college till after he had reached the
age of twenty one years. He entered Wa
terville, (now Colby University in Feb 1913,
at the opening of the second term of the Fresh
men year. Soon after his entrance, there &C.
Cured in the village and college, revival of
religio n, in which he became interested in the
subject of his own salvation, and on profess
ion of his faith, he was bap,ised, in April of
the same year, by Or. Sheldon, then pastor of
the Baptist church, though he did not unite
with the church. Afterward he became
member of the Congrt gational society OF
Watervile with which he retained connec-
ton till his death.
In college Mr.. Herrick maintained high
ly respectable standing for scholarship, abili-
ty and character. After graduation, in Aug
1916, he studied law under the direction OF
the late Stephen Stark, and in the autumn
and winter of that year and the following.
taught as Principal, the Waterville Liberal
Institute. On commencing the practice of
his profession lie purchased the office and
business of Mr. Stark. AT length his health
failing in the arduous labors of his prof sson,
in 1852 he became one of the firm of Dunn,
Eden 4 Co., in the hardware business-now
Arnold & Meader, selling after several
wears, and then in 1866, entering the firm of
Il. S. Robinson & Co., in the same line of
trade, in which he continued till the close of
life.
Mr.. Herrick held various offices in the town
of Waterville, being ever on the board of Sc
lectmen. In 1857, he was member OF the
State Senate. During President Lincoln S
term of Office he was offered by him minis
tryto Calcutta, but his health would not permit
him to accept it.
In all social business and professional re-
lations, Mr. Herrick merited and enjoyed the
esteem and confidence of his fellow citlzens'
As a lawyer he was able and successful. AS
merchant he was prudent and sagacious IN
his plans and undertakings, but at the same
time just and honorable in his dealings. By
reason of his candor, his knowledge OF law
and his varied business experience lie was
often chosen to act as a referee in the settle
ment of disputes between parties connected
in business, and in such cases the fairness OF
his decisions and the wisdom of his advise
were always highly valued. In this and other
ways not always known to the public. Mr.
Herrick did great amount of good, bringing
together persons who were at variance, and
often preventing the evil and perplexity o.
legal proceedings.
In his religious character, he was some

who have garden or house flowers. They
cannot be given away for more noble service.
The time in the year is quite too early to
secure the finest display of flowers, especially
when as the present year the season is not re-
markedly forward, but as at all former deco

thea, who were disciples Of Jesus secretly,
for he made no public profession Of his re-
ligion, but ever felt deep interest in the in.
situations of the gospel of Christ, and paid
literally for their support, doing what he
could in his quiet way. He was also inter-
ested in the institutions Of learning in Water
vile. He loved his Alma Mater and reioiced
in her prosperity.
For years his life has been one of constant
struggle and effort to overcome disease and
regain health. Two winters past he was
obliged to seek different climate, and thus
he was in Western Virginia when the messen-
ger Of death came. He spent the winter near
Parisburg, Giles county, and seemed to be
improving In health till about the middle Of
March, when an internal abscess Frustrated
him and he began gradually to fail. The 2sth
of April he left there and went to the ''Eggles-
tons Springs" in Virginia, hoping that the
change would prove beneficial, and 1t did re-
vive him little, so that he cherished the hope
that he might reach his home the first of
June. But the 9th of May he began again to
lall and gradually grew weaker till the
9Th when he calmly and peacefully passed
away. One who was a roommate and con-
slant attendant during the winter and was

of death, they left an expression, proof posi-
tive that his freed spirit had sweetly. peace

smile which reflected itself upon the trem

On Wednesday the 18th, the body of Mr..
