He was married Nov. 27, 1879, to Ella Mary Risser, who preceded him in death 11 weeks prior to his decease.

And Sister Hernley lived in Lancaster Co., Pa., until 20 years ago when they moved to Scottdale. Bro. Hernley was employed by the Mennonite Publishing House for the past 16 years. He was a member of the Mennonite Church for many years and early in life formed the habit of regular Church attendance.

Funeral services were held Mar. 23, by the home ministers at his late residence and the Scottdale Mennonite Church. The text used was Psalm 133:1, his own selection. Burial in the Scottdale Cemetery.
