He was walking to the train depot to meet the arriving passenger train as part of his normal duties. He slipped on ice and fell against a fire hydrant, suffering broken bones and internal injuries. After returning home he collapsed and was taken to the local hospital.

View all 8 ReflectionsJohn F. Herzog was my Great Grandfather and namesake. In addition to being a police officer he also served as the Fire Chief for New Ulm. I still have his Billy club, handcuffs, and whistle. Our family is very proud of his service.
