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!
