Long Counsel for Millers and Employers.
Largely Responsible for Employers Inter-Insurers Exchange - Known Over Many States
Adrian F. Sherman, well-known attorney, died yesterday morning at his home, 235 Woodlawn Avenue.
Mr. Sherman had a nervous breakdown about six years ago and since had not been engaged in business. The immediate cause of death was a stroke of apoplexy.
Adrian F. Sherman was born in Rossville, Kansas, July 10, 1872. His father was Adrian C. Sherman, a Civil War veteran who came to Shawnee county shortly after the war, bought land from the Indians and together with Col. Geo. W. Veale laid out the town of Rossville. Adrian C. Sherman became quite well known locally and among the grain dealers of the state, and was a member of the legislature of 1893.
Was a Leader At K. U.
Adrian F. attended the graded schools at Rossville until 1887, when he entered the preparatory department of the University of Kansas where he continued his studies until 1893, receiving his A.B. degree. After engaging in business for about a year and travelling abroad several months, he returned to the University of Kansas in 1895 and received his degree of L.L.B. in 1897. While at the university he took an active role in athletics, becoming a member of the football team, (He made K.U.s first touchdown!) baseball team, track team and tennis squad, earning his letter in each of said branches of athletics. He became a member of the Greek letter fraternity Phi Kappa Psi on October 17th of 1890.
Shortly after graduation he entered the law office of Rossington, Smith and Dallas, in Topeka, where he remained until 1900, at which time he became a member of the firm of Keeler, Hite and Sherman. In the meantime, he became the attorney for the Kansas Grain Dealers' Association in the collection of loss and damage to grain claims, in which position he became aquainted with a great many grain dealers and millers through out the state.
Board of Trade Attorney
In 1902 he moved to Kansas City, MO., and opened a law office in the Board of Trade building, where it was maintained until 1909. He numbered a goodly portion of the members of the Board of Trade as well as the Board of Trade itself among his clients and was quite active in the local courts and before the Interstate Commerce Commission in their behalf. In 1910 he became general counsel for the Southwestern Millers' League and in response to the desires of the members of this organization undertook the organization of a reciprocal insurance exchange along in the summer of 1911, to take care of the situation confronting Kansas employers by the Workmens' Compensation Act, which was going into effect January 1, 1912.
The organization was perfected by personal calls by him upon employers, and began business under the name of "Kansas Employers Inter-Insurance Exchange" January 1, 1912, with Adrian F. Sherman as attorney-in-fact. There being no specific law covering such an organization, it was deemed advisable at the 1913 session of the legislature to enact such a law. A bill was introduced, passed the senate 32 to 1, the house 93 to 8, was signed by the governor, and the Kansas Employers' Inter-Insurance Exchange licenced accordingly, all within a period of three weeks time.
He Gave His Personal Attention

insurance business was accomplished thru the organization of several different corporations, among them being the Inter-Insurers Trust Co. of Kansas; and the Inter-Insurers Trust Co., of Delaware. Mr. Sherman was president of each of these organizations, and in 1918 they were all merged in the Inter-Insurers Trust Co., of Delaware.
