c .. x Four Pages Section Two 3 "The Voice of the Beef Empire"-North-Central Nebraska's BIGGEST Newspaper Volume 81—Number 21 O'Neill, Holt County, Nebraska, Thursday, September 14, 1961 Seven Cents Meet Your Correspondent (Another feature in our series of “Meet Your Correspon dents.”) Newspaper writing is no re cent adventure to Mrs. R. J. Hering, Royal correspondent. She first started writing in the late 1890’s and lias been annually contributing intertesting articles to newspapers since her gradua tion from high school in 1901. She was born in a sod house June 19, 1883 near Hering’s Mill, north of Royal. At the age of eight years she moved to Woon socket, S. D., and four years later was in the newspaper business, working in the Woon socket News office for her uncle. She set type, solicited subscrip tions and job work, collected bills, fed the press, “kicked" the jobber, etc., wrote copy and edited country correspondents. Continuing with her newspaper work, she managed to serve as secretary to a state’s attorney, operate telephone switchboards and teach school. Last but not least she found time to marry R. J. Hering in 1910, her childhood sweetheart. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary November 24, 1960. Her husband operated Hering’s Flour Mill for 40 years. At the present time he is operating a shoe and furniture repair shop, Upholstering and in general, is an all-round "fixit” man. Their children, all talented in music are: Genevieve (Jeri Southern) well known recording star; Joe, contractor and builder in Beatrice; Mrs. Art Meuwissen, Mt. Clemens, Mich., and Mary, employed in Norfolk. Two of their children are deceased. Marriage didn’t stifle Mrs. Ber ing’s talents. On the contrary, she combined her home duties successfully with teaching and the continuance of her reporting. Besides her writing for papers, she contributed articles to The Grail, a school reader, the Young Catholic Messenger and com posed verses for bridal showers and wedding anniversaries. She organized the first P-TA in Antelope county and served as Red Cross and Polio chairman during both World Wars. During the second World War, Mrs. Bering organized the com munity into a group which sent monthly letters, treats and news papers to more than 100 toys in service; edited a one-page paper using letters from the boys in service, and also built the first memorial to the boys in the county. Her name is listed in Who’s Who Among North American writers, Who’s Who Among Catholic Writers, Who’s Who in Nebraska and anthology of Verse. There is no doubt that Mrs. Bering is a very talented woman who gets the most out of life and contributes a great deal to others. Oh yes, at 70 years she took up oil painting in her “Spare” time and has painted more than 600 pictures. Wonder when she’ll try something else like maybe piloting her own plane! Royal News By Mrs. R.
