Joseph W. Herian, 73, died February 18, (1948) in Los Angeles, Cal. of pneumonia which followed a broken hip he received in a fall a short time ago.

The Herians lived in Neillsville until 1928, when they moved to Los Angeles, where they have resided ever since.

He leaves his wife, Ella, and three children, and two grandchildren, Standley and Nancy Maurseth, all in California; and a brother, Henry Herian of Neillsville, three sisters, Mrs. Mary Blakslee of Minneapolis, Minn., Mrs. Anna Maxwell of Kansas and Miss Minnie Herian of Greenwood.
