M. H. HERBERT, an
active business man of Cleveland, was born in St. Louis,
Missouri, Aug. 25, 1861, of Irish parentage. His father,
Martin J. Herbert, born in county Clare, in 1827,
emigrated to the United States in 1850, married in Johnstown,
Pennsylvania, Bridget O'Connell, moved some years later
to St. Louis, Missouri, and was injured fatally while employed
on the river there. Mrs. Herbert returned to
Pennsylvania and there married Timothy O'Brien.
M. J. Herbert, the youngest of his father's four
children, secured a very scant education, and before his ninth
year he became water carrier in Libby's Glass-house, in
Pittsburg. His next employers were Oliver & Brothers &
Phillips. For them he worked two weeks, receiving $1.50 at
first and later $4 a week. Three years afterward he
entered their rolling mills, at 90 cents a cay, and remained
three years, when he came to Cleveland. He was employed by
the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company as heater and catcher till
1887, at which time he was forced into a strike and virtually
became its leader, in consequence of which he incurred the
displeasure of the superintendent, and to prevent the
precipitation of another strike resulting from his discharge, he
resigned. Since then Mr. Herbert has given his
attention to accident insurance, first with the Equitable and
for the past four years with the Standard.
Mr. Herbert became known to politics in 1887,
when he was made the Democratic candidate for Alderman from the
Second district. He was nominated without his knowledge and
consent for the Legislature in 1887. In 1890 he was
elected to the Council from the Twenty-sixth war, but was
legislated out of office. After having served one year he
was again elected, under the Federal plan, for the term expiring
1894. He was a minority candidate for President of the
Council at its reorganization, 1893, and in consequence is
chairman of the committee on Public Offices and Officers.
In this position he rendered conspicuous service in securing the
confirmation of the new cabinet and the approval of the Mayor's
bond. Mr. Herbert is serving on the committees on
Fire and on Printing.
Aug. 12, 1887, Mr. Herbert married Margaret
Flaherty, a lady of Canadian birth. Their children are
Margaret, Lawrence and Martin. Mr. Herbert
is President of Branch No. 40, C. M. B. A., and Secretary of
Division No. 3, A. O. H.

HENRY HOEHN,
Cleveland's most efficient and popular Superintendent of Police,
was born in the Province of Rhine, Bavaria, in November, 1840.
At the tender age of fourteen he left home and friends and set
out for America. He stopped a few months in New York city
before coming to Cleveland, and soon after his arrival here we
find him in the employ of John Kirsch on Bridge street,
learning the cooper's trade. He remained a knight of the
hammer and saw till the rupture between the States made the
raising of troops a military necessity. In response to the
first call, the superintendent enlisted in Company K, Seventh
Ohio Volunteer Infantry, for three months' service. This
command was ordered from Cleveland to Camp Dennison, Cincinnati,
where it completed its term of enlistment, and from which place
Mr. Hoehn returned to Cleveland. In August, 1862, he
enlisted in the Twentieth Ohio Independent Light Artillery,
Captain Smithnight's company, which went at once into the
field, arriving at Nashville immediately after the battle of
Stone river. It was assigned to the Army of the
Cumberland, and remained a part of it till the close of the war.
Some of the fiercest engagements of the war were participated in
by this army, - Chickamauga, Franklin and Nashville being among
the number. Mr. Hoehn enlisted as a private, and
was promoted through successive offices to a Lieutenancy,
receiving his commission just after the battle of Nashville.
In the winter of 1861 Mr. Hoehn married
Sophia Heizman, of German birth, who came to America at
twelve years of age, and died Sept. 7, 1893. The children
of this marriage are Addie, now Mrs. Jacob Kaiser;
Albert, a druggist; and Henry, who lost his life by
drowning near Akron, Ohio, June 24, 1892, at the age of nineteen
years.
Superintendent Hoehn's connection with the
police force of Cleveland began in 1866, when he was appointed a
patrolman. It was at once recognized that he possessed the
proper traits for an ideal peace officer, and he rose by
promotion, as he did in the military service, to a Lieutenancy,
and later to a Captaincy. For many years he was stationed
on down-town beats, where crime was rifer, and where a less
resolute officer would have been a certain failure. As a
police officer Superintendent Hoehn has rendered
invaluable service to his city. He has followed up traces
of, and run to the wall, many noted criminals, in many instances
taking his life in his hand as it were, and but for his extreme
and unusual modesty we would mention herein noted cases.
On June 22, 1893, Superintendent Hoehn
received the following communication:
"HENRY HOEHN,
Captain of Police: Dear Sir:
- You are hereby notified that you have this day been
appointed Superintendent of Police, to take effect July 1, 1893.
"Respectfully yours,
"W. C. POLLNER,
Director."
This action of Director Pollner placed at the
head of the police department a man who has devoted the greater
part of his life to police duty, and one who commands the
respect and confidence of every one. His manner is plain
and unpretending, and the lowliest may approach him and receive
the same attention as those of the highest station. He is
wholly conversant with his duties and will be content only in
their performance.
