General Notes: Husband - J. Adair Herman


He was educated in the public schools of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and at Dickinson College, from which institution he graduated in 1896. He registered as a student-at-law with A. G. Miller, Esq., and at the same time entered upon a course in the Dickinson Law School, from which he graduated in 1898. He was admitted to the Cumberland county Bar June 8, 1898, and later to Supreme Court practice.
On April 28, 1898, he enlisted in Company G, 8th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, for the Spanish-American war, and served in Gen. Gobin's brigade until March 7, 1899, doing duty at Camp Alger, Va., Camp Meade, Pa., and Camp McKenzie, Augusta, Ga. He was a member of Company G, 8th Regiment, National Guard of Pennsylvania, and held the rank of adjutant of the Second Battalion. During the coal strike of 1897, he did duty at Hazleton; in the strike of 1900, he was on duty at Shenandoah; and in 1902, again on duty at Shenandoah for a period of ninety days.
Mr. Herman, as was his father before him, was a Democrat, and active in his party's interest in nearly every campaign. He was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi college fraternity, of which his father was one of the organizers in 1859, and also of the Cumberland county Bar Association.
