CHARLES WASHINGTON SHERMAN, farmer, P.O. Centreville, was born April 27, 1821, in Cambridge, Washington Co., N.Y. His mother dying when he was four years of age, he was brought up by his grandfather, Oliver Sherman. They moved to Chautauqua County, N.Y., in very early times, and there our subject spent his boyhood days. When twenty-two years of age he began working for himself, soon accumulating enough to buy a tract of land in Rome Township, this county, which he immediately began to improve. He was married in December, 1849, to Sarah Ann Sherman, and in 1850 settled on the farm in this township, where by industry and good management he acquired a fine estate of 220 acres of well-improved land. Mr. Sherman’s wife died October 31, 1879, and he then married Sarah Geer (or Ghers), of Oil Creek Township, this county. To this union was born one daughter— Maud Ann. In politics Mr. Sherman has ever been a supporter of the Republican party. He is an honest man, of generous impulses, highly esteemed by all.
