Herrington, Henry S., was born in Dryden September 19, 1835. His father, Thomas Herrington, was one of the early
settlers in the town and was a son of Jacob Herrington, dying on the same farm as the latter in the western part
of the town of Dryden. Henry S. was educated in the common schools to which he has added by reading and close observation
through life. At the age of twenty two he married Margaret Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, of Dryden, and they
have had two children, one son, J. Henry Herrington, and one daughter, Jennie E., a beautiful and accomplished
young lady, who passed away at the age of twenty eight, a devout christian, and a dutiful daughter. He takes the
Republican side in politics and an active interest in educational and religious matters, being trustee of his school
and a member of the Presbyterian church of Dryden. In 1870 he bought the property on lot 46, of ninety acres, making
a specialty of dairying and potatoes. Our subject is recognized throughout his town as a practical and successful
farmer and a conservative, intelligent citizen.
