DEATH OF DR. L. R. HERRICK

 

This morning Dr. L. R. HERRICK, of New York, died in this city at the residence of his son-in-law, J. Moreau SMITH, after an illness of several weeks. His illness was contracted while on a visit to San Francisco where he was prostrated for twenty-three days when, upon advise of his physicians, he came east arriving here on the 13th ult. Since that time he has steadily continued to decline, though at all times cheerful and hopeful until within a short time of final dissolution. For some twelve hours preceeding death he was not conscious until the last hour, when he seemed to recover somewhat and fully realizing the near approach of his inevitable fate, he called his wife, children and friends about him and bade them adieu. His malady was of a bronchial character and terminated in congestion of the lungs.

     Dr. HERRICK's fame was widely known throughout the country, as the discoverer and introducer of several valuable remedies for the ills that flesh is heir to. These, through liberal judicious advertising, were brought to the notice of the public generally and came into extensive demand. He was very prosperous in business, and having amassed, what he considered would be amply sufficient to last him the remainder of his days, retired from active life about ten years ago. He was born in Nassau, Rensselaer county in 1815. After acquiring a good general education, he studied medicine with Dr. McCLENNAN of Chatham. On graduating, he entered upon the practice of his profession in Malden, Ulster county, where he remained about ten years. He then removed to Albany, continuing to make that his home during (line unreadable) active business life. After retiring he removed to New York which he has since called his place of residence, though much of his time was spent in traveling. His wife survives him, as well as three children, one son, Richard O. HERRICK, who resides in California, and two daughters, Mrs. J. Moreau SMITH of this city and Mrs. R. E. MORSE of Newark, Wayne County. All were present at the time of his death. Deceased had been in the habit for many years of visiting his daughters once a year and he had made two trips to California. He was a man of fine and commanding figure and up to his last illness had generally enjoyed robust health. He would have been singled out as one among a thousand in apparent vigor and in the possession of all the essentials to probable longevity. The Doctor was a man who was well-informed on all subjects, possessing a large fund of general information, the result of extensive reading, close observation and a habit of studious reflection. He was also a person of noble and generous impulses. His loss will create a great void in the family in which he was so deeply loved and revered. A notice of the funeral will be found elsewhere.
