The following narrative was submitted by D. Wilson (#48030119):
"Albert Sherman, son of Job, was born Aug. 14, 1815, in Newport. In early life he learned the trade of sailmaker, an occupation which he followed for a number of years. For several years he was engaged in that business in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he continued until 1841, in that year returning to Newport and establishing himself in the dry goods business on lower Thames street. He continued in this line, meeting with deserved success. Mr. Sherman was never a strong or rugged man, and for many years was in feeble health, although he continued to be actively engaged in business. In political views he was a Republican, but on account of his ill health never sought public recognition. He was for many years a director in the Merchants' Bank of Newport, and took an active interest in the Newport Hospital, which he had been influential in establishing. He was a consistent and devout member of the Society of Friends.
On Sept. 2, 1841, Mr. Sherman married Sarah Catherine Marble, daughter of Benjamin and Sarah A. (Holt) Marble, of Newport. She died Sept. 15,1889, aged seventy-two years, while Mr. Sherman died June 30, 1884. Two children were born to this union: Alice Anthony, who died at the age of two years, and Albert Keene."
