Notes for JOHN HERALD: "THE HERALDS" by Kathryn Gayeanne Stilwell JOHN HERALD: Son, J.C. "My Dad (John) was interested in sports. Worked (spare time) in a gym in Battle Creek. Was one of Wolgast's sparing partners at one time. Gave me a real good lesson when I was about seventeen or eighteen. I didn't care about boxing after that." "Dad was definitely not of a mechanical nature. He learned to drive a Model T Ford, but would not learn to drive the conventional shift when the Model T was retired." "Dad and Mother both loved people, and their modest home was always a meeting place for any one they had known, at any time in their lives, right down to baby sitting for all the babies in town, right up to their very last." JOHN HERALD: Daughter, Mary "John Herald was born November 9, 1880 in Hubbardston, Mich. He attended the parochial school of that locality for a few years (to fourth or fifth grade). While still very young he started working at neighbors farms and earned money for some clothes. From the age of fourteen he supported himself. As he grew older and made better money wages at various kinds of labor, he was happy to be of some help financially with the younger children. All though the years a brotherly love and affection held them together. They were always willing to help one another in the need arose. He loved athletic sports. Baseball and boxing were favorites and he enjoyed pitching horseshoes too. I can not remember when he did not smoke a pipe. As for music, he played (by ear) the violin, mouth organ, and the dulcimer. A favorite pastime was playing cards." "The Dopp School House, a rural one room school, on the corner of Cedar Lake Rd. and Kendaville Rd. about three and a half miles north and east of McBride, was located on the south west corner of the Herald farm. This farm was referred to as the Herald Homestead by the Herald Brothers. Dad met Mother in the autumn of of 1911 when she was a teacher there. They were married June 15, 1912. Walter, Ben, and Adrian were students of the Dopp School at that time. Bessie Naute was too young to enter classes (about four years old), but she managed to escape the watchful eyes of her mother and grandmother, and visited the school children sometimes. Alice watts, who later married Uncle Harry, was also a student at the time." "Dad owned and operated a bakery in Edmore for a few years. After the illness of Flu in 1919, dad and Mother with their three children, settled on a farm near Edmore, and about three miles from the Herald Homestead. Harry and Alice bought the Herald Homestead where their four children were born and grew up. We children, J.C., Lena Rea, and myself (Mary) attended a one room, eight grades, rural school." "In 1934 we moved to Marion, Mich. where Dad owned and operated a bakery until he retired. Uncle George was a frequent visitor during the 1950's, as he had a bakery business in Northern Michigan. They delighted in comparing pasteries." "My parents celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 1962, and were in good health at the time." |

"THE HERALDS" by Kathryn Gayeanne Stilwell MICHAEL JAMES HERALD: Son, Clare "My father had a store on Main Street where he repaired clocks and watches. The store also included several showcases and a couple of display cases. He sold new matches with gold and silver cases. The store was heated with a coal and wood stove. There were several chairs where people would sit and visit. My father smoked a pipe at times, and I remember he liked musical instruments and he could play and repair most of them." "Dad always walked to work and would be there by 6:00 in the morning. He always said he could get more done in the first hours of the morning." "We had a Model T Sedan we used mostly on Sunday's to go to my Uncle Harry's in McBride or to uncle Jack's in Cedar Lake. Uncle Jack and my father played violins and dulcimers. Sometimes they would have a house dance." MICHAEL JAMES HERALD: Son, Jim "My dad, Micheal Herald, was born October 9, 1882 at Hubbardston, Mich. He attended the Catholic School in that area. while still young he worked on a farm and went to Barber School. He worked as a barber in Chicago awhile and later in Montcalm County, Michigan. He also learned the jewelry business in which he later made his living. One could call him a "jack-of-all-trades". He would often travelled around the country with a screw-driver and scissors, fixing clocks and the like and cutting hair for friends and neighbors." MICHEAL JAMES HERALD: Granddaughter, Sheila "Grandpa lived a very simple life. He was not at all materialistic. He really enjoyed living." "As a child I thought it strange that he preferred to live without the comvenience of nicer furnishings or better clothes. But now I realize such things didn't mean that much to him. There were more import matters in life than such things could offer. Grandpa was very philosophical about life." "When I think of Grandpa I'll always think of violins. He used to bring his fiddle with him and Mon would play piano and we would all sing songs like "My Wild Irish Rose" and "When Irish Eyes are Smiling." His favorite song was "Red River Valley." Tombstone for Michael J Herald, 1882--1964, and Mitsie Ann, 1923--1925, at Forest Hill Cemetery. There are also a stones for Merle Stewart, 1903--1986, and Cecil, 1906-- 1953, in the same area. |

Notes for FRANCIS JOSEPH HERALD: "THE HERALDS" by Kathryn Gayeanne Stilwell, 1978 FRANCIS JOSEPH HERALD "My father's greatest concern was his family and his home. The only time he cared to go out was to visit one of his brothers or other relatives around Chicago. He loved to up to Michigan on any occasion, to see all the relatives he could. How he loved that! He was quite fond of every relative. He'd never say no to to a fishing trip up to Wisconsin, when he and I had a couple days off." Son, Francis " My dad was always very kind to us. He went on many fishing trips with my brother and also made trips to Michigan with the rest of us to visit the relatives. He worked very hard to support all seven of us. -- We often went to the lakes in the summer time for cook-outs." Daughter, Betty "Mom and Dad were something pretty special as far as I'm concerned. They expected us to do what was right, and when we didn't they were pretty disappointed in us and we knew it too. Dad didn't get mad very often but when he did we sure knew it. We treaded pretty light at the time." "Dad in later years was kind of hard of hearing, but I swear there were times when we thought he couldn't hear what was going on, but he sure pulled fast ones on us and seemed pretty pleased with himself. He had quite a sense of humor." Daughter Eileen "My dad was one of the best, anyone that ever met him, He would go out of his way to do things for other people. I sure wish everyone could have known him." "His grandchildren thought there was no one like him. "Dad", that was what they called him. He did so much for us that I could write a book about him, if I could write." Daughter, Mary |

"THE HERALDS", by Kathryn Gayeanne Stilwell; 1978 GEORGE TERRENCE HERALD "It has often been said that behind every successful man there's a good woman. This was not so in the life of my Uncle George" " He was a half-brother of my Dads, coming from a family sixteen children. He was born in the rural community of Hubbardston and educated in the rural schools. When he was a young lad he migrated to Chicago with is brothers, who all sought to better themselves in further education and obtain good positions. He worked in the Post Office for quite some time but eventually came back to Michigan. He became a Baker and owned or operated bakeries in three or four spots in Michigan, the last one being in Frankfort, Michigan." "Never having married, he became a typical bachelor, independent and self assured. --- He was natty dresser with his neatly creased trousers of matching suits, his laundry starched, snow white shirts and colorful complimentary ties. One winter he appeared in a wool, light tan, camel hair overcoat, matching felt hat, fur lined gloves and our-buckle galoshes, Gosh, how handsome he was! " "I'm sure my mother worshiped the ground he walked upon. Many Saturdays he came to drive her with my sister to the Dr. in Pewamo as my folks had no car." NOTE: The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, May 10, 1922; "Miss Martha Herald will be unable to continue her eight grade studies at St. John's school because of illness." My mother was ill with what was called St. Vitus Dance, which eventually left her with a weakened heart. She died, Ocober 10, 1956, of heart failure. JJF Jr. "It was probably in his black, two seated Model T Ford, with running boards and the black leatherette encased spare tire on the back that I had my first car ride. In the winter he would snap on the side curtains with the ising glass windows as there was no heater or the like. My mother would wrap his steering wheel with strips of fur to help keep his hands warm." "Uncle George spent his winters in Clearwater, Florida. It was here one winter he died suddenly from a stroke." ROSE Daughter of Ned and Georgia Herald |

While Charles Herald was at work, his wife and four children, who lived in a Chicago flat, were over come by the fumes of gas from the furnace. When Mr. Herald returned home he rushed his unconscious family to the hospital, but they were beyond medical aid. They were brought to Edmore, their former home, for burial Thursday morning. Walter Herald of Chicago was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Herald during the past week. Carson City Gazette, Thursday, July 21, 1927 -- Hubbardston Charles Herald of Chicago is spending the week with his brother, Ned Herald and family. "The Herald's" by Kathryn Gayeanne Stilwell: 1978 CHARLES WILLABORD HERALD; "The first Memories I have of Dad start when I was about 6 and we lived in Chicago. The house, as with most houses at the time, was heated with coal stoves. On cold winter evenings we all sat around the big table in the dining room to be close to the big stove. Morning in the winter, Dad would be up first and have the fire going and he would have our shoes and socks warming on top of the stove when Marie and I got up for school." "We left Chicago on July 3, 1938, when Mon was taken ill. ---- Dad called Grandma Fitzgerald in Sharon and told her Mom wanted us kids to go be with her family if anything happened. --- We all became Sharonites -- except Dad. His heart stayed in Chicago for a good many years. We lived in a small house on Grandpa Fitzgerald's farm and Dad worked as a barber in Sharon. Not having a car, Dad walked 3 miles to work every day." Daughter, Helen CHARLES WILLABORD HERALD; "My father loved Chicago and his life there, and never tired of telling stories about it, and they were really great ones. (He hated Sharon, Pa.) But what an era to have lived through! Al Capone, prohibition, the depression, etc. He worked first as a barber, his first and lasting love, then as railroad conductor, street car conductor, the back to the barbershop. he owned several barbershops and I was born in one of them. My mother's father (Fitzgerald) suffered a bad stroke and since my mother was a nurse, she decide they should move back to care for him and my father agreed --- biggest mistake of his life, he always insisted. He seemed very fond of his brothers and family and loved to tell stories about their days on the farm and later in Chicago." "My mother died at the age 50 of a stroke and he was left with three young kids to raise ages 6-10-14." Son, Charles CHARLES WILLABOARD HERALD; "I remember waking up every morning and before my feet hit the floor I could smell bacon cooking in the kitchen and hearing dad playing the fiddle and I couldn't wait to get downstairs. He always got up early every morning and got the day started for the rest of us. He loved music and really enjoyed his fiddle. He worked at Westinghouse all day and would cut hair at night in a little barber shop in the back of the house. I remember when the day was about over, he would sit on the porch and I would go out and sit with him and he would talk about the days in Michigan and his family and when he went to Chicago for the first time. He loved Chicago and all the excitement it brought to him at that time of his life." "What he taught me was to appreciate everything in life and be completely satisfied with what you have. He enjoyed the very basics like a warm house, a good meal, and a warm coat in the winter. --- If things got too tough he would say "Don't think about it" or "Time will take care of it". Now that I know the tragedy in his life, I can really understand what he meant." Daughter, Annella CHARLES WILLABORD HERALD; "I remember him sitting on the porch swing reading the paper and visiting with the neighbors. He was very content with his life. He showed his love in many ways, but a few thins come to mind, like when he would go to the bakery early in the morning before he would wake us up to the tune of Turkey in the Straw and the smell of fresh donuts. How he loved to play the fiddle. One time Dad and I took a trip to Michigan to see all his brothers and friends. We stayed with Uncle Jack and I"ll never forget the two of them, Jack playing the dulcimer and Dad playing the fiddle. He had such a wonderful time. I think he really missed his brothers. We were lost a few times, but we eventually found our way to Aunt Alice's, Uncle George's bakery, Uncle Mike's and Ned's. We also went to Uncle Benny's and Bob's and all the relatives along the way." Daughter, Theresa |

Notes for HENRY ARTHUR HERALD: "The Heralds" by Kathryn Gayeanne Stilwell, 1978 HENRY ARTHUR HERALD; by Daughter, Murnice "My father Harry, lived in McBrides Day township, on a farm of 80 acers. He worked with a team of horses and planted the crops all with a hand planter except for wheat wheat and oats; then he used a grain drill. When it was time to harvest the crops he cut the corn by hand, stood it up in shocks, husked the corn by hand or used a corn husker and fed the shredded corn stalks to the cows. When it was time to harvest the grain we cut with a grain binder, shocked the bundles in rows to let it dry, threshed with Hatingers machine, blew the straw in a large pile and carried the grain to the grainary. As I recall when he broke up the back twenty Acers, he started from scratch. He pulled the stumps with a stumping machine and used the stumps to build fences. He cleared the ground of roots and stones by plowing, dragging, picking some more stones, getting it ready to plant potatoes. Farming back then was much harder work than today, because everything was done by hand and with horses." HENRY ARTHUR HERALD; by Son, Durwood "My dad, Harry, was a black-headed Irishman -- not red -- of medium build and weighed about 160 lbs. He always farmed for a living on the "Old Homestead", raised four children and educated us though High School. We were taught to work as soon as we were old enough -- like carrying in the firewood and water and helping with the barn chores. We did our school-work by the light of kerosene lamps and had no running water in the house while I lived there." "I remember the depression years when there didn't seem to be any money at all. He had a Model "T" Ford that he didn't run for a year or so because it needed a battery, a tire and a license that would have cost the total of $20.00." "My dad liked to attend the local square-dances. He liked to have a good time and live it up--so to speak--with the aid of a little "booze" now and then. He would expecially celebrate with his niece, "Bessie Nauta", when she came from Chicago. I always called her "Aunt Bessie" |

Notes for ROBERT ADRIAN HERALD: "THE HERALDS" by Kathryn Gayeanne Stilwell MY FATHER, ROBERT HERALD "Many things come to mind when I think about my father. There is, of course, the famous Herald Drug Store of Prophetstown, Illinois, his love of reading and his passion for golf. I'll have to leave it to someone else to explain the golf, since I never could understand the fascination with knocking a little white ball over the ground." "The soda fountain in the drug store was a magnet for everyone in town, particularly on a hot Saturday night. Although our family literally thousands of sodas, sundaes and milk shakes, nobody could do it as quickly or make them as good as Daddy could. The soda fountain was a marvel -- a long line of spigots dispensing different flavored syrups, four kinds of real ice cream, marshmallow and warm hot fudge. My mouth still waters when I think of it. I've never had a hot fudge sundae as good as the ones at our store, nor a frozen custard as good as the ones at Uncle Benny's Polar Bear Drive-in." "Our lives revolved around the store since the whole family spent so much time there, but there were some memorable vacations, too. One was a trip to Michigan where my brother and I met many of our uncles and cousins. It was especially exciting to see so many people we were related to, since we had no close relatives around Prophetstown. I particularly remember Uncle George who let my mother decorate a cake in his bakery and gave Bob and me a huge box of pastries to eat on the road." ""My father and I share a love of reading. You rarely see him at home without a book or newspaper in his hand. --- He not only reads, he also retains information about a multiplicity of subjects: sports, the stock market, agriculture, computers, politics. Daddy can find something to talk about with anyone, a rare gift. --- He not only is a pharmacist, he also has a degree in law. Not the least of his accomplishments was getting his daughter through high school algebra and geometry."
