Luther Lee Herron's obit. Note: considering that Luther Lee was in Pennsylvania for work, (one of the worst-hit states by the Spanish Flu) and his passing of "pneumonia" in September at such a young age, I believe his death was actually caused by the Spanish Flu. (lh)

"...when Scotty pulls out some old news paper clippings. There was a
funeral announcement for L.L. Herron, who was my father's father. My
grandfather, your great grandfather. (The L.L. stands for Luther
Lee). I had always thought that grandfather Herron had died when my father was very young. Wrong! He was 60 years old when he died of pneumonia while working in Springfield, Pa. He was working for the government, building a railroad (engineering). He was a carpenter by trade, widely known in the Gadsden area as a music teacher. My father was working in Akron, Ohio when his father died. Mother met daddy in
Springfield and they brought the body back to Gadsden for burial. The paper said ... "Mr. Herron was a Mason, a church man and a good, conscientious christian gentleman. He was as upright and honest as the days are long and no man was more respected by the people of this city."
