According to unofficial reports, Herbert was flying in formation with three other planes over Long Island when they ran into a storm. He left the formation and the crash followed, thereafter, near Lawrenceville, L.I. He was survived by his father and stepmother; two sisters, Mrs. Harold (Marion Toan) Hopkins of Rochester and Miss Harriet A. Toan of Glen Falls. His mother died in 1928. |
