SHERMAN HIRAM, merchant, 13I Kickapoo st; residence 177 Broadway; P. O., Lincoln, Logan Co. Ill. Mr. Sherman was born in Muskingum Co. Ohio, May 12, 1839; and, like many a high spirited youth in those days, left the parental roof at the early age of 19, to follow the old pioneers to the western prairies, not know- ing how far he should go or what fare he would find. But having once made his mind to cast his lot among strangers and " hoe his own road," he made his way to the Ohio River, and stepped on board a steamer at Cincinnati, in the spring of 1858, and in due course of time landed at Shawneetown, in the State of Illinois, from which place he made his way on foot as · far as Mt. Vernon, in Jefferson Co. getting his luggage hauled on ox wagons from place to place as best he could, there being no railroads in that part of the state at that time. From Mt. Vernon he· worked his way north as far as Broadwell in this county, where, for want of means to take him further he was compelled to stop, and in May engaged his services as a farm hand to Samuel Johnston-now one of the heaviest stock dealers in Logan Co. - at $13 per month, counting nothing but fair weather. . The season was so wet that it took him nearly two months to earn a month's wages. That was a trying time
for the young adventurer; the season was so extremely backward that he spent the 4th of July (unlike those of subsequent years) in dropping corn without shoes on his feet or coat on his back, with the water following his tracks in many places, and sometimes ankle deep in mud, and when the time arrived for gathering the crop in the fall there was found more ague, fever, and sore eyes, than corn. The sena- torial contest of 1858 brought together large assemblages of the voters of Central Illinois to hear the noted statesmen, Lin- coln and Douglas, debate the political issues of the day; and although Mr. Sher- man was not then entitled to vote, yet it afforded him a good opportunity to visit Springfield, Lincoln, and Atlanta, and the surrounding country, thereby enabling him to form an idea of the vast resources of this part of the state. So favorably impressed was he, that the county would rapidly in- crease in wealth and population, that, in the fall of- 1860, he determined to make this his future home, for better or for worse, and en- gaged as a clerk in the store of Messrs. Pegram & Son, dealers in dry goods and groceries, for the space of six months, at $12 per month. In the spring of 1861, he concluded to "go it on his own hook," and purchased a small bakery and confec- tionery shop of R. J. Williams, taking every dollar he could raise to make the first pay- ment of fifty dollars. In the the summer and fall of 1861 he secured the contract to furnish the 106th Regiment I. V. with bread during their stay in Lincoln, which aided him very materially in his business, which he continued' with success till the fall of 1862, when he sold out to good advantage, and invested part of his capital in real estate on Pulaski st, which advanced in value very rapidly. In the spring of 1863, he formed a partnership with Mr. James Andrew, and engaged in the retail grocery trade. They were the first to introduce a delivery wagon, and prob- ably did as successful a retail business in that line as has been done by any house in the city up to the present time. In the spring of 1870, he sold his interest in the grocery to Hoover & Bone, and devoted his whole attention to the boot and shoe trade, which he had previously

added to his business. Mr. Sherman has continued in the boot and shoe trade up to the present time with unparalleled success. Although not a speculator in the proper sense of the word, yet by the increase of value .in real estate, close application to business, his urbane manners, and honest dealing as a business man, always keeping first class goods, he has become one of Lincoln's most solid merchants, owning two brick stores on Pulaski st. and two on Kickapoo, one of which he now. occupies himself, besides other city property and western lands. He was married April 10, 1864, by Rev. James White, pastor of the C. P. Church, to Miss Susan M. Martling, who was born in. Mishawaka, St. Joseph Co. Indiana, July 8, 1845. They have three children: Florence Estelle, who was born April 20, 1865, Jesse Hiram, born Sept. 12, 1868, and Clifford Leon, born March 31, 1875. Mr. Sherman can hardly be called a politician, although he votes the republican ticket, except perhaps for some of the city and county officers where friends prove to be superior to politics. He has rendered much good service as a mem- ber of the city council, having been elected alderman from the Third ward for the long term, at the first charter election held in the spring of 1865, and subsequently has served three terms from the Second ward; and during his last four years he held the responsible position of chairman of the committee on streets and alleys, and finance where, by his untiring exertions, he did as much as any member of the council to en- courage the growth, improve the streets, and curtail the expenses of the city. It is a true saying, that he who can conduct his own business with success, is a fit person to conduct public affairs, and in that ca- pacity Mr. Sherman has devoted much of his time for the general good of the com- munity, while at the same time he has built for himself a permanent business and be come from the poor, barefooted youth of 19, one of Lincoln's most honored citi- zens.
