Herrell, former county clerk of Bates county and a inent insurance man, died at his home on West Ohio street in this city, Saturday,- March 18, 1916, at 5 o’clock a.m. after a several month’s. illness, of a com- plication of heart and stomach troubles. - John F, Herrell, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Herrell, was born at Butler, Mo., January 26, 1857, and was reared to young man- hood in this county. He was unit- ed in marriage to Miss Maria Burner October 23, 1880, and to this union were born two. chil- dren a son and a daughter, both of whom survive. The son, George Herrell and the daughter, Mrs. Etta Jenkins, both reside at Adrian. Besides his children, -|Mr. Herre]l is survived by_ his widow, an adopted daughter, Miss Eva Herrell;. a brother, William Herrell, of Johnstown, and_a sister, Mrs, S. A. Letterer, of Ft. Scott, Kansas. Mr. Herrell engaged in the mereantile business in Butler for several years, later removing to Adrian, where he engaged in the insurance business. During his residence in Adrian he served as a member of the board of educa- tion. In 1902 the Democratic party rewarded his long unself- ish party service with the nomina- tion for county clerk and he was elected by a substantial majority and served four years ‘in this ca- pacity, faithfully and efficiently and with high honor to himself and his party. At the close of his term as county clerk, Mr. Herrell and his son, George, established the J. F. Herrell & Son Insurance. agency in this city and in Adrian, and egtablished for their business an enviable reputation for service and efficiency, Mr. -Herrell. re- maining in charge until only a short time prior to his death, John Herrell was a man of strong moral character, able and broad minded. Faithful to a trust, honorable and conscientious his friends throughout the county. were legion, His honorable, un- impeachable career as a county official is an index to the manner in which John ‘Herrell lived his whole life. He will be sadly missed, and the entire community mourns with the bereaved family. Funeral services, conducted by the Rev. R. M. Webdell, were held at the Ohio street Baptist church Sunday afternoon annd interment was made in Oak Hill .cemetery under the direction of Blue Flag Lodge No. 190 K. of P. of, which he was a charter member, Popularity of B. & L. Associations. In the evidence of the deserving popularity of the Building and Loan Associations of this: state, with both the borower and_in- vestor, we will quote a. statement from a speech made before the State League of Building and Loan Associations, held at St. Joseph, Missouri, September 24 and 25, 1915, by S. T. Gresham” of Springfield, a former state su- pervisor of Building and Loan Associations : “Six years ago we had 127 Building and Loan Associations in. Missouri with combined assets of $9,000,000. Now we have 160 ~ Associations, with total assets of $20,000,000. A doubling of assets in a period of six years is a growth that should mean some- thing to those seeKing a safe, profitable savings institution.”’ BUTLER B. &. L. ASSOO’N. T. J. DAY, See.
