E. T. SHERWOOD, Linton, was born August 1, 1859, in Greene County, Ind., where he was educated in the common schools until twenty-one years of age, when he began reading medicine under Dr. B. A. Rose. In 1880, he entered Missouri Medical College, from which institution he graduated in 1882, shortly after this locating in Linton for the practice of his profession. As a young physician, Dr. Sherwood has been very successful, and being a careful student and a close observer, he will undoubtedly obtain a high rank in his profession. In 1882, he was united in marriage with Miss Hattie E. Price, daughter of L. M. Price, of Stockton Township. Dr. William F. Sherwood, father of the subject of this sketch, was one of the oldest and most successful physicians in Greene County.

He was married, November 24, 1853, to Catharine Ingersoll, daughter of Peter and Typhena Ingersoll, by whom he became the father of this family: Charles, Benjamin, Elmer, John, Harry, William and Typhena, the latter dying March 16, 1873. The Copeland family settled in Washington County, Ind., on the night preceding the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811.
