OLD RESIDENT PASSES AWAY 
Hugh Herald gone after Long Suffering with Paralasis
Had Resided Here Last Twenty Three Years

Hugh Herald, an old and highly respected resident of the east ward, died at the home of his son, J.B. Herald, in the town of Oconto at 5:30 last Saturday in the afternoon after having been a sufferer from a paralytic stroke since last May, but until recently not confined to his bed. Deceased was born in Belleville, Ont., in 1846, and in 1870 was married in Syracuse, NY to Miss Nora McAuliff, who preceded him to the other world about three years ago.

In 1886 they moved from Belleville to Oconto, which remained their residence until death. He is survived by four sons, John, James, Michael and Frank, and four daughters, Maude, Julia, Agnes, and Mrs. William Small, all of Oconto, except John, who resides at Duluth, Minn., and Mrs. Small at Aitken. A sister, Mrs Thomas McAuliff, of Syracuse, NY., and two brothers, John and James Herald of this city also survive to mourn his death.

The funeral was held from St. Joseph's Church at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and his remains followed to their last resting place in Catholic Cemetery by a large concourse of friends.
