  • Obituary: Peter SHERMAN. (the obituary does not include the name of the Inwood, Iowa newspaper)
    Peter SHERMAN died at his home two miles north of Inwood, Thursday, March 12, 1893, aged 67 years, 10 months, 27 days.

    Deceased was born in Burnks Co., Pa., May 2, 1825. In 1865 he removed to Iriquoy Co., Illinois, where he resided till 1874, when with his family, he removed to Mills Co, Iowa, and in 1888 removed to Lyon County, Iowa. Mr. SHERMAN united with the German Reform church in his 21st year. In 1890 he united with the Presbyterian church at this place and was a member of same till death.

    Early in the winter he began complaining of a soreness in his foot, but at that time it was thought to be nothing serious. The malady grew worse, however, and the alarming symptoms of gangrene were noticed. He lay for weeks in a precarious condition. The time came finally for an amputation of the foot, and the operation was successfully performed. But the poison still remained in his system, causing what physical strength there was left to rapidly weaken. Peace came at last; he was asleep in death, and his spirit wafted to the heavenly shore.

    The funeral services occurred at 10:30 o'clock, Saturday, March 25, 1893, in the M.E. Church, and were conducted by Rev. F.W. Ginn.

    The remains were interred in the Inwood cemetery.
