Ingersoll, Editor (1893) FRANK D. SHERMAN, of Hollister, San Benito county, California, was born in Wisconsin, December 16, 1854. At the age of five years, in company with his parents, he left his native home and started for the great State of California. They first located at Oroville, Yuba county, remaining there one year. Next we find them at Grass Valley, Nevada county, which place continued to be their home until 1870, when they took up their abode in Hollister, Monterey county, now San Benito county. Here he and his father opened a blacksmithing and wagon-making business. The firm now consists of F. D. Sherman & Brother, who are doing a thriving business. Mr. Sherman was married to Miss Mary W. Young, January 1, 1875, in Santa Clara county, near San Jose. His mother is still living, and is now sixty-three years of age. Although comparatively a young man, Mr. Sherman is a pioneer. He has thoroughly identified himself with the best interests of his town, and is one of its highly respected citizens.
