"E. SHERRETT, dentist, North Lewisburg.
The above gentleman was born in Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, in the year 1844, and is a son of Adam and Elizabeth (Eick) Sherrett; his father was born in Ohio Oct. 18, 1817; he was a farmer by occupation, and the above county was made his home till his decease, which occurred March 17, 1851; Elizabeth, mother of Mr. S., was born in New Jersey April 5, 1818, and, when a child of 2 years, came with her parents, Peter and Desire Eick, to Ohio; both are yet living, her father at the age of 96 years, her mother in the 91st year of her age. Adam and Elizabeth Sherrett were parents of five children, two of whom are living, viz., Mary A. and our subject; the deceased are Levi, Milo and Peter.
Our subject was reared on the farm, and, in August, 1862, enlisted in Co. G of the 126th O. V. I, and was soon after transferred to the front, where they were used in guarding the B.O. R. R. In July, 1863, their corps (the Sixth) was ordered to intercept Lee, who threatened an invasion of the North. The battle of Gettysburg which followed and Lee's almost disastrous defeat are well remembered by the many. Suffice it to say, the 126th sustained her part. He also passed through the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and, in fact, all the battles which took place in and around that great rebel stronghold. In these battles his regiment lost severely,. his company losing all its officers, and, out of fifty-four effective men, only fifteen reported for duty. In the engagement at Monocacy Junction, he received a wound in the hand from a piece of shell, which struck his gun-barrel, glanced and struck him, producing a shock from which he yet feels the effects. He was discharged in July, 1865, and returned to his home and attended school for eighteen months, after which he studied dentistry under Dr. W. S. Vail for two years, and completed his studies under C. C. Dills, a prominent dentist of Urbana. He entered upon the practice of his profession in North Lewisburg, where he has since lived, with the exception of four years,. two of which were passed in Wapello Co., Iowa, and two in Union Co., Ohio.
In 1870, he was married to Anna, daughter of Aaron Winder, Esq., one of the old and prominent settlers of this place, who died May 6, 1880, aged 72 years.
