Biography

He was born in Huntington, Lorain County, Ohio, the son of Timothy Robinson Herrick a local farmer. He married Carolyn M. Parmely in 1880. In 1886, he helped to finance the founding of The National Carbon Company, along with W. H. Lawrence, James Parmelee, and James Webb Cook Hayes (see Webb Hayes), son of U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes, in Cleveland, Ohio.[1] This company would come to figure prominently in the history of the consumer battery and the flashlight.

Herrick was a Presidential elector in 1892 for Harrison/Reid.[2]

Herrick served as the Governor of Ohio from 1904 to 1906; (future United States President) Warren G. Harding served as his Lieutenant Governor. He had been a protege of political boss Marc Hanna, but in 1906 was defeated by the efforts of Wayne Wheeler and the Anti-Saloon League after he refused to support their plan for prohibition of alcohol in Ohio. He subsequently served as United States Ambassador to France from 1912 to 1914 and again from 1921 to 1929, when he died from a heart attack while in office. He is the only American ambassador to France with a street named after him in Paris, in the 8th arrondissement. Herrick was an unsuccessful candidate for the U.S. Senate in 1916 against Atlee Pomerene. He died on March 31, 1929. Myron T. Herrick was the ambassador who hosted Charles Lindbergh in Paris after his successful New York to Paris Atlantic crossing in 1927.
