David Sherman was born in Norway, Herkimer Co., N. Y., Jan. 10, 1800, and died in West Union, of typhoid pneumonia, Jan. 12, 1883, and was buried on First-day, Jan. 14th, a large congregation being present notwithstanding the storm and bad roads.
He was married in 1826, became a Christian in 1831, united with the Free Will Baptist denomination in 1835, and moved to West Union in 1841, where he has since lived and where he died. His sickness was of short duration. Death found him with his armor on waiting and willing to go to Jesus, whom he expected to meet as soon as his spirit should leave the body. To him death had no terrors but rather joys.
He has left one son, three daughters with their families, and many other dear friends.
