Obituary from The Headlight Herald (Tillamook, Oregon), 19 Sept
1957:
Funeral Services for Captain Clifford Blye Hermann, late of 605 Laurel Avenue,
Tillamook, were conducted on Thursday, September 18 at 10:00 a.m. in the Memorial
Chapel of Lundberg and Son with Tillamook Lodge No. 57 A.F. & A.M. in charge,
Worshipful Master Charles Graham and Chaplain Norman Burdick presiding. Clifton
Walters sang "God Be With You" and "Crossing the Bar" accompanied
by Mrs. Violet Sandefur at the console of the Hammond Organ.
Captain Hermann was a native Oregonian, born in Salem Oregon on January 13, 1880
and passed away September 16, 1957 in Tillamook, Oregon at the age of 71 years,
eight months and three days. He was united in marriage in Portland, Oregon on
February 18, 1905 to Audrey Anna Waller, also a native Oregonian. The Couple
observed their golden wedding anniversary at reception here two years ago last
spring.
Captain Hermann spent 45 years in the Light House Service, now a department of
the Coast Guard, entering about the time of his marriage. Prior to that he had
been engaged in the dangerous "Life Saving Service" as it was called
at the time. The Hermanns were stationed the entire time along the Oregon and
Washington Coast with almost 25 years at Heceta Head Light House where Captain
Hermann was in charge.
The veteran, light house keeper retired at the age of 70 in January of 1950 and
at that time was awarded the, Albert Follatin medal, for his nearly 58 years
of faithful service and excellent record. He was the first civilian to be so
honored at that time and the award was Captain Hermann's most prized possession.
Following his retirement the couple made their home in Tillamook where they have
made a host of friends. The Captain with his black cocker spaniel was a familiar
sight walking along the streets near his home, and will be greatly missed.
He was a member of San Juan Lodge, No. 175 A. F. & A. M. and The Scottish
Rite Lodge of Eugene Oregon, a 32nd degree Mason, and a life member of the Elks
Lodge at Coos Bay.
In addition to his beloved wife, Audrey A Hermann of Tillamook, he is also survived
by two nieces and six nephews. Two nephews, Carroll and Lloyd Adams also reside
in Tillamook.
