Just as a point of information for Sherman family historians, keep in mind that the ages of nearly all the Sherman family brothers were reduced by two years when they emigrated to America***. Why this was done is uncertain - could have been some military or passport issue. Nevertheless, the information from Russia shows the following:

Following the All-Empire Census of January 1897, the following excerpts were taken from the metrical books for the town of Uman:

*file 2530 Registration book of Jews about births for year 1898 in Uman town, 214 sheets. Sheet 108 rear-side –109, record 218 of July 1st that a son Moishe -Khaim was born.
His father is Aron Borukhovich Sherman, bourgeois of Uman', trader. His mother is Ita Moishe -Khaimovna.
(Joseph)

***Consequentially, despite records in America, the correct birth date for Joseph Sherman is:
JOSEPH (MOISH-KHAIM ARONOVICH): JULY 1, 1898
