1.) SHERMAN. At Oak Dale, Becker County, Minnesota, April 11th, 1881, Sister Lois H. Sherman, aged 70 years, 1 month.
She was born in Lisle, Broome county, New York, March 2d 1811. She was baptized about the 1832 by Elder Patton or Cahoon, joined the Reorganization July 14th, 1879, at Detroit, Minnesota, being rebaptized by Elder T. W. Smith.
S[iste]r Sherman was the daughter of Alpheus Cutler and was all through those scenes which tried the Saints, being baptized in 1832, and remained true to the first principles, leaving the Brighamites in Winter Quarters she at last settled here.
Sister Sherman has been sorely afflicted. Two years ago she had a polypus removed from her nose, and then a cancer made its appearance. She suffered, no one can tell how much, as she was so patient that she asked for but little help; but for eight months she never saw a moment when she was free from pain, although she received a blessing every time she was administered to, the pain abating in a measure.
Sister Sherman was healed in her young days by the power of God when given up to die. Elders Patten and Cahoon came there and preached the gospel; she obeyed and was healed; previous to this heard a voice commanding her to ''join my Church;" she asked, Where is it? and was answered, "It will be told you." And she found it and was blessed in becoming a member. We have lost a mother in Israel.

2.) Mrs. Lois Sherman
Mrs. Lois H. Sherman, wife of Almon W. Sherman and daughter of Mrs. Lois Cutler, was born at Lisle, Broome County, New York, on the 2nd day of March 1811. When twenty years of age, after two years of sickness, during which time she was nearly helpless and unable to leave her bed, she was almost instantaneously and permanently restored to health, by an ordained elder belonging to the church of which Joseph Smith was the head, who was then holding meetings in the neighborhood.
For several years, during the early seventies, I lived near a neighbor to these people, and many times I have heard the story of this marvelous transaction from the lips of both Mrs. Cutler and Mrs. Sherman. They were both women of sincerity, veracity and intelligence, and I was never in the least disposed to doubt the truth of their statement.
This was the beginning and the foundation of their faith in and connection with the church of Latter Day Saints, to which they and their posterity for five generations have most loyally and faithfully adhered, and by which in the course of events they and their kindred became the chief corner stone of that church when it was organized at Oak Lake in the summer of 1875, and which now (1905) has a membership of more than 100 souls in Becker County.
Mrs. Sherman came to Becker County with her husband in 1868 and died at their old homestead on the shores of Oak Lake, on the 11th day of April 1880.
