IN MEMORIAM
DOUGLAS FRANKLIN SHERROD

Douglas Franklin Sherrod was born in Whitley County, Indiana, May 18, 1861, and departed this life at Goodland, Kansas, June 12, 1926. Aged 65 years and 24 days.

He lived in Columbia City, Indiana until he was 14 years of age, when he moved with his parents to Decatur Michigan, where he lived until he came to Sherman County, Kansas, in 1886. In the spring of 1887 he returned to Michigan on account of the illness of his father.

He was united in marriage to Minnie Winkler, November 1, 1888 at Decatur, Michigan. In 1891 they came to Sherman County, where he homesteaded and resided until the time of his death. To this union six children were born, Blanche, Willard, Fern, Bertha, Ethel and Mrs. Jerry Barnes.

His wife and six children, one grandson, other relatives and many friends are left to mourn his death.

"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled:
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given,
And though his body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven."

Services were conducted at the M. E. church Monday at 2 p.m. by M. R. Starbuck, assisted by Rev. Moore pastor of the Christian church and interment was in the Goodland cemetery.
