l Stricken with pneumonia one week ! ago, Hans Herlick died at the family residence, S15 West Adams street, shortly before noon yesterday. While 1 it was generally known that he was seriously ill, it was hardly until the | final hours that hope of his recovery was practically abandoned. His viz crous vitality and indomitable will power gave promise for days of withstanding the ravages of the dis case. but when the crisis came early yesterday morning it was seen that he was gradually sinking.
 l Hours before he passed away, MT. Herlick realized that the end was approaching and he asked that George A MintZ, close personal friend, act as eXecutor of his estate and take charge of his personal af- fairs. His wife was at his bedside constantly from the day he was stricken but their son, Martin, at tending school at San Rafael, Cal. had not been informed of the ser iousness of his fathers illness and made no preparation to come home until he had passed away.
