Edgar W. HERRING

I have in my possession two HERRING Family photographs which I'm hoping to get back to family. The first is a photograph of Edna & Carrie HERRING taken at the W. A. Dietrich Studio in Kutztown, PA when they were just 13 months old, sometime in the 1890's.

The second photograph is one of Edgar HERRING which was taken at the J. S. Fritz Studio in Reading, PA in the 1880's or 1890's with Edgar likely less than one year old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family:

Edna Louisa HERRING and her twin sister Carrie Laura HERRING were b. 29 Mar 1898 in Greenwich Township, Berks Co., PA to parents Jesse “Jessie” Adam Lincoln HERRING (1870-1938) and Sarah Margaret SLONECKER (1870-1954). They had two siblings, brothers Edgar William HERRING (1892-1972) and John Paul HERRING (1895-1897). Edna married Harvey Alvin MERKEL (1895-1975) on 22 Dec 1916 in Berks Co., PA and they had two children, Mildred E. MERKEL BAILEY (1917-2010) and Ernest Herring MERKEL (1919-2012). Edna died Sept 1983 in Kutztown, PA and is buried in the New Bethel Zion Church Cemetery in Grimville, PA.

Carrie married Earl William George SUNDAY (1900-1992) on 5 May 1923 in Berks Co., PA and she died 19 May 1992 in Lehigh or Berks Co., PA and is buried in the New Bethel Zion Church Cemetery in Grimville, PA.

Edgar William HERRING was b. 4 Apr 1892 in Greenwich Township, Berks Co., PA and married Sallie E. METZGER (1885-1944) in 1912 and they had two children, Paul Metzger HERRING (1917-1998) and Marion Elizabeth HERRING (1924-1927). After Sallie died Edgar married Marie KRESSLER (1904-1999) on 26 Dec 1946 in Easton, PA. Edgar died 15 Jan 1972 in Ruskin, FL and is buried in the Zion Union Cemetery in Maxatawny, PA.

I am hoping to return the photographs to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Thanks,
Shelley
