HERR, Leonard

WELL KNOWN HERE ~ Leonard Herr, a Glass Blower, Found Dead in Baltimore.
Monday's Baltimore American contains the following: "Coroner Edwin Geer will hold an investigation tonight, at 8:30 o'clock, at the Southern Station, concerning the death of the unknown white man found dead on the Baltimore and Ohio tracks at Cross and Hamburg streets early yesterday morning, as related in yesterday's American. The man was about five feet eight inches in height, wore dark clothes and a blue shirt, and had a light moustache. The body was discovered by the crew of regulating train No. 334 - John Parks, engineer; Lawrence Ford, conductor, and Charles Hepburn, brakeman. Superintendent Murphy, of the morgue found several papers in the clothes of the man which may lead to the identification of the body. One was a memorandum book, in which were the following addresses: "L. Herr, 499 James street, North Hamilton, Canada;" ". Conway, 96 Virginia avenue, Cumberland, Md.;" "G. Herr, 16 Grant street, Port Jervis, N.Y.;" and "John Rusler, yard-master, Cumberland, Md." A letter addressed to "Friend Lou," or "Lon," and signed "James M Conway," was also found in the clothes. This was dated: "Cumberland, February 23," and was in reference to the shipment of a box." Upon investigation by one of our reporters it was learned that the dead man was one Leonard Herr, who about two months ago was employed in the South Cumberland glass works as a glass blower. Herr was well known and liked among his companions and was an intimate friend of James M. Conway, of Virginia avenue. Herr went from this city to Baltimore and got employment with the Carr Lowrey glass works at Lowrey Station. His home is in Port Jervis, Grange county, N. Y., at which place his parents reside.
