He was graduated from the Oshkosh Normal in 1909 with a bachelor of philosophy degree. He later attended the University of Wisconsin, where he received his master of philosophy degree. He was married to Miss Emelyn Cook in Unity June 15, 1912. She died exactly two years ago, the date Mr. Hirsch passed away. He was married to Miss Florence Olmstead in Fremont, Mich. June 9, 1945. Besides his wife he is survived by two sons, Donald E. Hirsch, Washington D.C. and Allen S. Hirsch, Pittsburg, Pa.; a brother, C. J. Hirsch, Abbotsford, and six grandchildren.
