The Bakersfield Californian 
Sherman, Charles J.     
1923 - 2005 
 
Charles J. Sherman 
Services: Tues., Oct 4, 11:00 a.m. 

Born April 15, 1923, in Norfolk, Nebraska, Charles J. Sherman passed away on 
September 27, 2005, in Bakersfield, California. Charles was a member of the 
VFW of Porterville, the Porterville Elks Lodge, Mayflower Association in 
Fresno, CA, Ancient Artillery in Boston, MA, Sons of the American Revolution, 
and a member of the MacNicol Clan (Scots in America). Charles was a World War 
II Veteran having served in Europe with Pattons Third Army as an Infantryman 
and earned the Combat Infantry Badge, a Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts and 
three Battle Stars. As many may recall the Third Army raced across France and 
was at the German border when it was diverted to the Battle of the Bulge. 
After the Battle of the Bulge the Third Army went into Germany and onto 
Austria and Czechoslovakia. In spite of resistance that was very heavy at 
times, the Third Army took more ground, captured or killed more enemy with 
fewer casualties than any comparable Army in history. After the war Charles 
received his Bachelors Degree in Business from Boston University. He later 
moved to California in the early 50s and worked and retired from the Los 
Angeles Probation Department. He is survived by wife, Margaret J. Sherman of 
Bakersfield, CA; daughter, Charlene Cole of Wakefield, MA; grandson, Jeff 
Cole, his wife, Margaret and great-grandsons, Alex and Eddie of Manchester, 
NH; sisters, Helen Brigida of Plantation, FL and Ailene Marshall of Whitman, 
MA; and many loving nephews, nieces and friends. Special Thank You to Bobbi 
Lozano, Sheryle Kimes and Odyssey Hospice, especially nurse attendant, Vicky 
and nurse, Judy. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, October 4, 2005, 
11:00 a.m., located at MacKinnon Funeral Home in Whitman, MA.
