Civil war veteran, Charles Sherman, was
born in New York in 1838 and he served as a private in the 4th Regiment,
Wisconsin Calvary. He married Isabelle Dodge, daughter of Otis Dodge and Hannah
Scheman. Isabelle was born May 20, 1849 at Harvard, Illinois and died Apr. 17,
1935. They had at least ten children: William, Merrill, Otis, Alfred, Charles,
Edward, Carrie, Ella, Jenny May, and one daughter only known to the author as
Mrs. Walter Smith. The Neillsville City cemetery index references another son
named Riley. In 1875, they moved to Minnesota, where Alfred and Charles Jr.
were born, and lived there for about ten years. They then moved to Neillsville.
Charles once had a contract for hauling mail from Neillsville to Marshfield
for $425 a year, but it is believed he made no profit in doing that. Other occupations
included farming, doing general labor and being an ice dealer. Both Charles
Sr. and Isabelle are buried in the Neillsville City Cemetery, Neillsville, Pine
Valley, Clark County, Wisconsin.
William Sherman was born in September
of 1870 and in 1910 was a resident of North Hudson. In 1910, Carrie was a resident
of Chicago, Illinois. Mrs. Walter Smith died April 28, 1934. Ella was born July
25,1883, and she and Jenny May died on Aug. 23, 1994. Both are buried in the
Neillsville City Cemetery.
Otis W. Sherman was born Mar. 25, 1872
in Delavan, Walworth County, Wisconsin. He married Anna Gertrude Wierschen on
April 6, 1899 and they had three children: Mabel Isabelle, Olive Gertrude and
Irving Edward. Otis was employed at the Greenwood Heating and Lumber Company
for a time, but he suffered from chronic Bright’s disease. Otis died Feb. 20,
1910 and his obituary says that he is buried in the Neillsville City Cemetery.
Irving was born in 1901, married Velma May Hindal on April 4, 1937 and he died
in 1958. His wife Velma, the daughter of Iva Hindal and Mabel Fischer, was born
Feb. 1, 1908 in Greeley, Iowa and died at her home on Sept. 15, 1949. Both Irving
and Velma are buried in the Greenwood Cemetery. They had no children.
Alfred Sherman was born 25 Sept. 1875
in Minnesota and he married Elva, who was born Dec. 22, 1891. Alfred served
in the Spanish American War as a corporal in Company A, 3rd Wisconsin
Infantry. They had one son, Dale, who was born in about 1924. Dale was a graduate
of Neillsville High School, class of 1942, and afterwards became a resident
of Texas. Alfred was an interior decorator, painter and wallpaper hanger. He
also sold cars for Stelloh Garage in Neillsville. Alfred died June 10, 1953
and Elva died Jan. 24, 1971. Both are buried in the Neillsville City Cemetery.
Charles Sherman Jr. was born in Neillsville
on April 4, 1881 and married Josephine Wasserburger on Feb. 11, 1908 in Minneapolis,
Minnesota. After their marriage they moved to Wausau where he was employed at
the Wausau Iron Works for many years, until the company went out of business.
He then ran a garage. Charles and Josephine had one son, Donald, who was born
in 1920. Charles died on Feb. 5, 1936 and his obituary says he is buried in
Neillsville City Cemetery.
