The following is an article written about Mr. Herrick by Pamela Chodosh in 1996 entitled `View From the End of the Road.' It was published in the Advertiser Democrat.
`It is just past the end of July and almost every hay field up here on this hillside stands uncut. This is unusual for this late in the hay season. By now these fields should be glistening with white stubble. I look out at a lone tree that sits just inside the field's edge. Its trunk is half hidden by a sea of thick clover and timothy grass whose heads reach for the sky. It too waits for the tide to shift. Tidal shifts are something we can count on, but the fact that someone will be around to bring in the hay is another story. `It isn't by some kind of magic that these fields get shorn each year.
I used to mow and harvest these fields myself, but I sold my equipment years ago and have since relied on a farmer-neighbor-friend to ride those long hot hours on his green machine. I've depended on him to cut, tend, rake and bale the crop that comes back better each year with his tending. This year he will not be riding his John Deere tractor, at least that's what the doctors tell him. They'll take him under their own knives soon and say he won't feel like his old self this summer.
There isn't anything he'd rather be doing than cutting hay. In fact before he retired he used his vacation time to harvest and haul, by the thousands, the double string-tied rectangles of dry feed to his barn.
`You're tough,' I said to him when he came to introduce the man who will do the haying for him this year. `Oh I don't know,' said my farmer-friend. `Give me a buc saw. Ask me to throw some bale of hay. That's something I can do.'
`He raised his eyes to the crop whose tops bent gently with the hot afternoon breeze. `It come this year.' Then almost before I could say good luck, he'd stepped into the truck and was gone.
`I feel his disappearance. As I look out over the field of tall grass, in my mind he is out there on his tractor, riding from top to bottom in the concentric paths that broke the stems at the earth's surface. The sweat that rolled down over his brow was the sweat of satisfaction, the kind he had at the end of each day. When he unhitched his tractor from the last full wagon, he was almost ready to do it again.
`Now I imagine him gazing out over the field like he's done so many times before. This time the gaze is short. He thinks about the cutter bar he sharpened last week and then he sees the truth, the unthinkable reality, of his having to be invisible from this landscape. Though he is still in a place he feels most at home, the excision, the unplanned for surgical separation from all that he has ever lived for, has begun. There is no anesthesia.'
There was a graveside service on Wednesday, August 26 in the Norway Pine Grove cemetery in South Paris. Donations can be made to the Norway Grange #45, c/o Ethel LaCourse, 16 Radcliffe St., Norway, ME 04268. Arrangements are under the direction of Weston-Chandler Funeral Home, Norway.
