Death notice in Der Nord Westen, 7 Feb. 1884:
73 yr old Sturgeon L. Sherwood died in Williams House, locally. He was known
by the nickname of "Steam Boat" Sherwood. He had relatives in Green Bay and
in the East, but none here.
********
S.B. Sherwood died on Tuesday morning at the Williams House in this city. Mr.
Sherwood was born in Greenfield, Fairfield Co., Conn., on March 27, 1811, and
was 73 years old at the time of his death. He came to this county at an early
day and has since resided continuously here. He held the position of county
surveyor and followed the business of land agent.
The old man had a reputation for the strictest honesty and every set of his
showed that the reputation was well deserved. He was an unobtrusive man never
forced himself upon anyone but always enjoyed a discussion of some politico-
economic question. He has no relatives living in this section of the country,
but the family of Mr. A.D. Smith paid the old man every attention.
