Mr. Frank H. Sheriff died at his home in Vermontville, August 3rd, after

settled near Hastings.

He was united in marriage to Frances L. Adams of Clarkson, New York, 1870.
Returning to Hastings he remained there about two years, then came to Vermontville
where he has resided most of the time since. One son was born November
19th, 1872, who is now deceased.

Mr. Sheriff was a member of the Congregational church and was baptized
by Rev. Smith, a former pastor here. Friends and acquaintances will remember
him as a painter and decorator as he worked at that trade most of his life.

The funeral was held from the home Friday afternoon and the remains laid
to rest in Woodlawn cemetery.

He was a kind and loving husband and leaves many friends besides a wife
and four brothers to mourn his loss. Those present from away were Mr. Will
