ELIZABETH A. STEVENS SHERMAN
DIED.
At Manitowoc, Wis., June 22d, 1875, Mrs. Elizabeth A. Stevens (sic),
wife of Lewis Sherman, Esq. Aged 55 years.
The deceased held a place of sincere respect, and tender affection in
the hearts of a large circle of friends. Born at Enosburgh, Franklin
Co., Vt., Dec. 22d, 1812. At twelve years, she removed with her parents
to Naperville, Ill. May 22d, 1841, she was married to Mr. Lewis
Sherman, and nine years after, in 1850, came with her family to
Manitowoc County, spending the first two years at Manitowoc Rapids, and
the past twenty-three years at Manitowoc. She took a prominent and
useful place at once in the social circle of her new home, and sustained
her place, by all those generous, public spirited, hospitable acts that
endear the worthy to the hearts of others. For twenty-six years she had
sustained a public profession of Christian consecration, twenty-four of
these years in the fellowship of the 1st Presbyterian church of
Manitowoc. She was very prominent in efforts to build up the material
interests of a home missionary church; and more yet, she was very
prominent in her efforts to deepen its spiritual power and to give
effect to its religious influence over the hearts of others. Such a life
of pubic spirit and of Christian consecration and usefulness has
embalmed her memory in the hearts of all. And her end was peace. If few
lives have been more unselfish and useful, and devotedly pious; few
lives have given such manifold proofs of the unspeakable value of
Christian comforts and supports. Repeatedly she had contemplated death
as probably near at hand during the years of her Christian profession;
but all these times her serene faith knew no troubling fears. The month
of her last sickness brought the spirits consolation in rich abundance,
and afforded all who approached her manifold proofs that her religious
hopes were, at least, of unspeakable comfort to her. So rich indeed were
they, and so supporting, that with all the unselfish love of her heart,
she wished and prayed that others in life and in death might be
sustained by her support, and fell the pulsations of her joys, and left
by direct request, as her last message to all, that late message that
our Savior bade the revelator suggest to all Christians to give when it
was written, "Let him that heareth say "Come." She felt that she had
"Loved," and tested the blessedness of the learning, and from her soul's
experiences her heart prompted her to say, as its tenderest wish for any
one, "Come to my Saviour and taste of my spiritual supports and joys." COM.

During the late protracted illness of my late wife and at her death and burial, this community have manifested so many tokens of sympathy and so many warm hearts and willing hands have contributed for the comfort and consolation of the sick and afflicted of my household, that I feel under lasting obligations to them and for which favors myself and family would tender our grateful acknowledgement, assuring them that these acts will be held in kind remembrance while life and memory lasts.
