In 1893 he married Miss Louise Schroeder who, with their two sons, Carl, of Platte Center, and Alvin, of Columbus, survives him. He leaves also one brother, F. Herrguth, and one sister, Mrs. Beigler, of Hillsboro, Ill. Mr. Herrguth was a kind husband and father, a good citizen and always ready to greet everyone with a pleasant word and a smile.
Rev. Wolters conducted the funeral service, which was held Tuesday, and the body was then taken to Columbus for burial in the Columbus cemetery. The bearers were J.W. Rilley, W.G. McRurer, D.P. Mahoney, Henry Burke, Ernest Fischer and Fred Laun.
