Author Hergesheimer Dies at 74 Wrote Java Head
Joseph Hergesheimer, prolific novelist who produced about 20 works between 1914 and 1934, died at 74 in Mercy Hospital, Sea Isle City, New Jersey. A Philadelphia native, he shifted from art to literature after early misgivings and gained fame with The Three Black Pennys, Gold and Iron, and Wave Head, living a frugal life among literary circles rather than high society.
