JOSEPH HERRON, of Closter, was born in Ireland on the 17th of April,
1859. He is the son of David and Sarah (Martin) Herron and a grandson of
John Herron and William Martin.
Coming to this country when young, Mr. Herron received his education in Troy, N. Y., and at the age of fifteen engaged in clerking. For ten years he followed that avocation in different places and then came to New York City, where he was successfully engaged in business as an exporting merchant for twenty years. At the end of that period he retired from active life and is now associated with his son in the grocery business in Closter, Bergen County, where he resides. Mr. Herron was especially prominent in the foreign fruit trade, in which he was so long and extensively engaged in New York City, and in that connection gained a high standing for business ability. He is a public spirited citizen, active and influential in local affairs, and a member of the Presbyterian Church. He married Hattie A. Burrows, and has one son, George D., who is associated with his father in the grocery business in Closter.
