Trade in Merino Sheep
George A. & R. I. Page of East Bethany shipped on Saturday two of their Merino rams to Howland Sherman of Locust Hill Farm, Avon, to head his flock, making the ninth sale to Livingston county breeders this fall. They have also sold nearly 600 head of sheep for Colorado, New Mexico and Texas, including several to go to Australia. The Mesers. Page think the breeding of Merinos ought to be uncommonly profitable for the next few years. Over 100 of the 105 breeders in the State Association have sold out in the past five years, giving new breeders a chance to supply the demand at remunerative prices.

Friday, March 29, 1895
Howland Sherman, a prominent citizen of Avon and a man very well known in Livonia, died last week Thursday. An article in the Rochester Union says that Mr. Sherman was descended from the best English and New England stock, his first Colonial ancestor being Philip Sherman, who settled in Boston in 1634, only fourteen years after the landing of the Pilgrims. This ancestor was one of the founders and owners of Rhode Island when it was known as the "Plantations." and was the first secretary of that colony. The adventurous and enterprising instincts of the family led Mr. Sherman's father very early into the Genesee country, where he settled in the town of Rush, Monroe county, in 1837, 200 years after his distinguished ancestor first came to this country. To this family of Shermans belonged Roger Sherman, one of the great historical characters of New England, John Sherman, the famous senator from Ohio, and Gen. W. T. Sherman.
