Anderson Herman was born in Pennsylvania October 22, 1839, and is a son of Daniel and Nancy
(Wirts) Herman, who were also born in the "Keystone State." The father's birth occurred about
1804, and in the autumn of 1855 he went to Illinois, and there died in 1880. His wife also died
in Illinois, in December, 1887. They were the parents of twelve children: Henry, John, Harriet
(wife of Lucius Flory), William, Anderson, Sarah (wife of Norman Pringle), Alexander (deceased),
Abner, Margaret (deceased), Winfield Scott, and two children who died in infancy. Anderson Herman
went to Illinois with his parents in 1855, and made his home there until January, 1888, when he
came to Arkansas and purchased 200 acres of land in Benton County. His farm is finely situated,
and is well cultivated. Mr. Herman is a Democrat politically, and is a member of the I. O. O. F.
Mr. Herman was married in 1863 to Miss Louisa Sturgis, who was born in Illinois. Seven children
have blessed their union: John William (married, and living in Arkansas), Charles Henry (at
home), Mary Alice (married to William A. Deardoff, a farmer living in Illinois), James
(deceased), Albert, Leonard and Tilden.
