| Abstract: | Dr. Henry Justus Herrick was born on January 20, 1833 in Aurora, Portage County, Ohio. He was the son of Justus Tyler Herrick (1801-1882) and Caroline J. Herrick (1808-1847). The family moved to Twinsburg when he was a child where he worked on the family farm and attended school. He graduated from Williams College in 1858 and Rush Medical College in Chicago, Illinois, in 1861. After medical school he came to the Cleveland area to work at the U.S. Marine Hospital under Dr. Martin L. Brooks. Dr. Herrick was commissioned assistant surgeon and then promoted to surgeon with the 17th Ohio Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. He was captured at the battle of Chickamauga and spent two months as a prisoner of war at Libby Prison. After his exchange he served with General William Tecumseh Sherman's Atlanta campaign and march to the sea. After the war ended, Dr. Herrick returned to Cleveland to practice medicine. He was a professor and became chair of gynecology and hygiene in the medical department of Western Reserve University. He was a member of several medical societies and wrote articles for various medical journals. He died in 1901. Dr. Henry Justus Herrick married Mary Brooks (1841-1909) on December 8, 1863. They had four children, Frances Hope Herrick (1865-1929), Henry Justus Herrick (1867-1932), Frederick Cowles Herrick (ca. 1872-1943), and Leonard Brooks Herrick (1876-1946). Both Henry and Frederick became medical doctors. Mary Brooks was born in March of 1841 to Martin Luther Brooks and Frances Rebecca Hope. She died in 1909.

He received his medical degree from Western Reserve University in 1897. He did some post-graduate work at the University of Goettingen, Germany, from 1898-1900 and practiced medicine in Cleveland afterwards. He did more post-graduate work at London General Hospital Medical School from 1905-1906 and returned to Cleveland. Some of the positions he held were as a doctor specializing in surgery at Cleveland City Hospital and Charity Hospital as well as teaching at Western Reserve University Medical School.

Dr. Herrick passed away on April 5, 1943 and is buried in Lakeview Cemetery, Cleveland, Ohio. Annie Bayard Crowell Herrick was born on May 3, 1883. Her father was Henry Crowell. She studied music in Vienna around the time of Frederick Cowles Herrick's post-graduate studies in Germany.

She died in October of 1972. Leonard Brooks Herrick was born on August 28, 1876. He served in the Naval Reserve of Ohio from 1895-1898 and became a hardware manufacturer in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He married Ethel Maud Tucker on October 1, 1901. Their son, Leonard Tucker Herrick, was born March 18, 1903. Ethel died in 1909 and Leonard later married Audra Donovan.

This collection is of value to researchers studying the genealogy of the Herrick family. Several generations are represented in the collection with some primary source documents including, among others, membership applications and updated biographical records for alumni associations that contain full names, birth dates, occupation and profession descriptions, and military service details. Anyone interested in doctors and medical practice in Cleveland, Ohio, in the mid to late 19th century and early 20th century will also find this collection interesting. Henry Justus Herrick and his sons Henry Justus Herrick, Jr. and Frederick Cowles Herrick were doctors. The family was involved with the medical department of Western Reserve University as graduates and faculty members. The collection is also of value to those interested in military involvement, veterans' associations, and other associations that trace lineage through military service like the Sons of the American Revolution. Those interested in the Civil War, especially the 17th OVI, surgical procedures, prisoner of war experiences, and General William Tecumseh Sherman's Atlanta campaign and March to the Sea will find documents of interest as will those interested in World War I and II for the Herrick family members' service information.
