For forty-six years Mr. Herren resided on a farm on Salem prairie, moving to Salem in 1892 and establishing a home on Winter street near Ferry. He was the father of seven children, two of whom, with their mother survive him; one is a son, Theodore, of Dayton, Yamhill county; and the other, a daughter, Mrs. Della Moore, of Salelm prairie. Four sisters and two brothers also survive him. His illness was of short duration, he being bedfast four days only.
