“In 1910 Herring had married Jessie Markham of Wheeling, West Virginia, whom he had met through his sister. The couple, after a year’s engagement, decided to get married while they were shopping in New York City and were quietly married at the Little Church Around the Corner. In 1919 Herring and his wife bought land outside Princeton which they intended for an equestrian estate; they named it “Rothers Barrows.” They built an “extraordinarily elegant stone house” designed by noted architect Wilson Eyre in the Arts & Crafts style. Eyre also designed the landscaping in the “Chestnut Hill” style characterized by native trees; there was a stone-walled sunken terrace, a croquet lawn, and for the horses a show ring and barn and a 960- yard race track.” http://colcohist-gensoc.org/wp-content/uploads/A_Bloomsburg_Boy_Makes_The_Big_Time.pdf
