Death of Colonel Hersperger, a California Pioneer.
[special to the American]
Frederick, Md., November 22 -- Colonel Tilgham Thomas Hersperger, a wealthy resident of Frederick, died today on his seventy-ninth birthday. Colonel Hersperger was a son of Henry Hersperger, a Frederick County farmer, and was born in the Middletown Valley, November 22, 1824. In 1850 he went to California, where he accumulated a fortune in mining, ranching and other pursuits. In 1860 he returned to Maryland and engaged in farming, but for a number of years had been leading a retired life in Frederick. He was ill only a few days and died of a complication of troubles.
Colonel Hersperger was married three times, first in 1851, in California to a daughter of General Winn, who died before he returned to Maryland; afterwards to a daughter of Col. John P. Thomas, of Frederick county, and on January 22, 1891 to Miss Helen K. Scholl, of Frederick, who survives him. A son by his second marriage, T.T. Hersperger , Jr. and a young son by his third marriage also survive him. Colonel Hersperger's military title came through appointment on the staff of the Governor of California, while he was a resident of the state.
