Joshua W. Hering was a medical doctor who practiced medicine in Westminster, Maryland from 1855 to 1867 and part-time after 1867 due to ill health. He later became a banker and a cashier at the Union National Bank, from about 1867 until 1913. He was a charter member (1870) and president after 1872 of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Carroll County. His first political office was that of Maryland state senator (Democrat), which he held from 1896 to 1900. In the senate, he was a member of the Finance Committee and the Corporation Committee, and was chair of the Committee on Revaluation and Assessment as well as the Joint Conference Committee. In 1892 and 1896 he was president of the General Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, of which he was also a member from 1870 to 1904. In 1899 he was elected president of the Maryland Banker's Association. He was elected Maryland's comptroller of the treasury and served from 1900 to 1904 and again from 1907 to 1910. At the age of 75 in 1910, Hering resigned as comptroller when Governor Austin L. Crothers appointed him Public Service Commissioner, a position he held until his death in 1913.
