Conrad Herman Sr., a resident of this community for 36 years, died at his home in Culbertson on Sunday, February 29 at the age of 76 years, 7 months, and 12 days.
A very rugged man for his years, Mr. Herman did not begin to fail in health until about five weeks before his death. When he became seriously ill, it was determined that he was afflicted with cancer of the throat.
Funeral services were held here Wednesday afternoon in the Evangelical U.B. Church with the pastor, Rev. W.H. Lenz officiating. Burial was in the Culbertson cemetery.
Mr. Herman was born in Laub, Russia, on July 17, 1871. When about five years of age, he was orphaned by the death of both of his parents.
On January 20, 1894 he was united in marriage with Marie Katherine Preis, who survives him. They were the parents of 10 children, three of whom preceded their father in death.
Coming to America with his family in 1912, Mr. Herman established a home on a farm near Culbertson. Upon retiring from farming eight years ago, he and his wife moved to the village of Culbertson, where they celebrated their golden anniversary in 1944.
Left to mourn the passing of a devoted husband and father are the widow, Katherine, five sons, Henry of McCook, Nebraska, and Conrad, Carl, and Phillip, all of Culbertson; two daughters, Mrs. B. Shaffer of Culbertson, and Mrs. Albert Alberts of McCook, 11 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
