Brooke Herford

Anchors of the Soul Brooke Herford

Brooke Herford was born at Altrincham on February 21st, 1830, the eighth child and the fourth son that had survived infancy of John and vS arah Herford. His mother, after giving birth to one more daughter, died, when Brooke was about two years old. She was only forty, but she had already exercised a deep and wide influence; for she had been a beloved and successful teacher. In her at once spontaneous and systematic in her response to the varied claims of her life, with a marked love of nature, an inventive knack of diagrammatic presentation of history, and a pronounced artistic gift, we seem already to recognise many of Brooke Herford shappiest characteristics, some of which were to reappear in the third generation. While Brooke was still a child his father married Helen Ryland, of Birmingham ;the more than mother, after whom he named his eldest daughter. Daughter of Edward Smith, of Birmingham.
