Edward A. Sherriff was born in England and immigrated with his parents in 1843. They settled first in New Jersey but at age 14, Edward was sent out west to Wisconsin to select a farm for the family. He bought Samuel Wing's 80 acres about 4 miles north of Whitewater in Cold Spring, Jefferson County.

Edward enlisted with the 100-day men for the defense of Washington during the Civil War but instead was sent in the hot summer to Memphis where he died of typhoid fever on July 31, 1864. While he is buried in the Memphis Civil War Cemetery, there is also a tablet in Coldspring Cemetery.
