Hannah Hull Herrington was born in Rensselaer County, N. Y., August 5, 1834, and died at Alfred, N. Y., August 3, 1910.
She was married when eighteen years old to Herman Herrington and moved to the State of Illinois. After six years of pioneer life she was left a widow with two small children, and soon after came to her father's home at Alfred Station. Soon after coming to New York State she came to Alfred (Center) and has ever since made it her earthly home. Here by heroic labor she built herself a house in which for many years she kept "club" for students, and thus she is widely known and kindly remembered by a host of Alfred students of the years agone for her patience and faithful endeavors in their behalf.
She made a profession of faith in Christ in early life and ever gave evidence that she possessed the real thing of faith, hope and love. The First Alfred Church loses a most valued member. For thirty years she was a great sufferer from a painful disease, but this she endured with great fortitude and with a degree of cheerfulness that was remarkable. She leaves one brother, the Rev. Joseph Hull of Little Genesee, and one daughter, Mrs. Dell Green, who with her husband has given her all these years of suffering the most tender and faithful care.
The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. O. D. Sherman, a lifelong friend and old-time neighbor, assisted by the Rev. B. F. Rogers. Text, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." O. D. S.
