A letter that Elijah Sherwood wrote in 1947.
A story about Jonathan’s Life. Grandfather Sherwood's Records as far as I knew. By Elijah Sherwood (son of David Olney Sherwood)in 1947.
He was a small man. When a small boy he fell out of a perciman tree and busted his breast bone in the center. The parents never bandage his chest. So it never healed back. So he was never a strong man.
He was a shoe maker by trade. He and two other brothers were in the milling business in Laporte, Indiana I believe. They were in debt for the mill as my Father gave the incident. So the two brothers took bankrupsy. Grandfather thought it a discrace, to take bankrupsy so he let everything he had sell at a sheriff sale except his shoe bench and tools. Then he took his family and moved to Iowa. A few years later he died and was buried at Red Banks Iowa.
