Alvin H. Sherman
"Alvin H. SHERMAN was born October 4,1852 near Oil City,
Clarion County, PA. and died in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado,
March 7, 1934 at the age of 81 years 5 months and 3
days.
On February 2, 1881 he was married to Rose HUNTSMAN, m.
in Emerson, Mills County, Iowa. and to this union was
born six children five of whom are living the eldest
daughter Allie having preceded him in death in 1930 at
Cheyenne Wells.
In 1887 they moved to California, living there about 4
1/2 years, returning to Emerson, Iowa where they made
their home until coming to Colorado in 1907.
They homesteaded in the southeast part of the county and
moved to Cheyenne Wells where they have since made their
home. In 1931 they celebrated their Golden Wedding
anniversary. In 1889 he united with the First Baptist
church of Emerson, Iowa.
He is survived by his wife, Rose SHERMAN; five children,
Cleve SHERMAN of Alamosa, Colorado; Mrs. Lulu TAYLOR and
Mrs. Faye LAMBERT of Arapahoe, Colorado; Lew SHERMAN of
Liberty, Missouri; and Mrs. Dora GUDGEL of Cheyenne
Wells, two brothers, one sister, twenty-two grandchildren
and three great grandchildren. He had a kind and gentle
disposition and was ever a faithful and loving husband
and father.
He was a Past Master of the Masonic Lodge of Emerson,
which he joined almost 50 years ago.
- "That which he does is
always for the best,
He calls our brother to his final rest,
Ours not to wonder at the messager sent,
Not ours to question; we must be content."
Funeral services for the
deceased were held at the Methodist church Saturday at 2
o'clock p.m., the sermon being delivered by Rev.
Chesnutt. Mr. Sherman was a Mason of many years standing
and his funeral was attended in a body by the local
brethren. The services at the grave were conducted with
the solemn ritual of the Masonic fraternity."
