b. 1898
A mid-20th-century biographer and clergyman, he is best remembered for writing Frank H. Nelson of Cincinnati, a book centered on the life and ministry of an influential Episcopal leader. Surviving records also place his life between 1898 and 1972, with roots in New York and later years in Massachusetts.
by Warren Crocker Herrick
Warren Crocker Herrick was an American writer and Episcopal clergyman associated with the biography Frank H. Nelson of Cincinnati. That book, published through Project Gutenberg and other library listings, points to his work as a careful interpreter of church life and religious leadership.
Genealogical records identify him as born on October 14, 1898, in Hobart, New York, and dying on September 3, 1972, in Melrose, Massachusetts. Those records also show that he married Elizabeth Hunter Kelly in 1928 and had two sons.
Little widely available biographical material about Herrick appears to survive online, so the public picture of his life is fairly limited. Even so, the record that remains suggests a writer whose lasting presence comes through his church-connected biography and the historical portrait it preserved.
