Sherman, William C., who died in Cazenovia, September 25, 1898, in the seventieth year of his age, was one of
the prominent citizens of that village, and a man well known and respected throughout the whole county. He was
born December 15, 1828, in a house but a few rods from the one where he died, spending the early and later days
of his life on the same farm. Mr. Sherman was typical of the solid, substantial, intelligent farming community
in which he lived. He was conscientious to the last degree, a good business man, and possessed of unerring good
judgment and executive ability. For twenty four years he served his town in some office within the gift of the
people. For eight successive years he was supervisor and during all that time he enjoyed to the fullest extent
the confidence of his townsmen and the esteem of his fellow members of the board. It was a matter of sincere regret
when on account of impaired health he declined to serve the town longer. There was no resident of the town of Cazenovia
who had more friends, or who was more highly and universally esteemed than Mr. Sherman. He lived his entire life
in the community and no one can point to a single act not compatible with the life of a Christian man. In 1860
Mr. Sherman married Miss Maria Goodrich, who survives him.
