GUY R. SHERMAN
Guy R. Sherman, secretary and treasurer of the Hinz Medical Institute,
In­corporated, is one of Minneapolis' most substantial and representative
citizens. A native of Michigan, his birth occurred in Wayland, in 1869, a son of
Thomas and Adelia (Lowry) Sherman, who came from Canada in the early '60s.
Thomas Sher­man engaged in the lumber business until his death in 1891, three
years after his wife, who died in 1888. To their union six sons and two
daughters were born, Guy R being the seventh in order of birth.
In the acquirement of his education Guy R. Sherman attended the common schools
of Michigan and after putting his textbooks aside he started in the optical
business in Burlington, Iowa. He remained in that city a year and then removed
to Davenport, where he was active in the same line two years. In 1895 he came to
Minneapolis, established an optical business here and subsequently bought the
Hinz Medical Institute, Incorporated, of which he became secretary and
treasurer. He is likewise president of the Mollen Manufacturing Company of
Minneapolis and the Northern Woods Products Company of Cheboygan, Michigan. The
best principles of honor and integrity have governed him in all transactions and
he well merits the confidence and esteem in which he is held by his fellow
citizens.
In Lyons, Iowa, on the 30th of October, 1901, was celebrated the marriage of Mr.
Sherman to Miss Ella E. Cook, a daughter of George Cook. The Cooks are an old
and honored family of England and her father is prominently known in the art
goods and painting line. Mrs. Sherman is socially prominent and is a woman of
much personal charm and during the World war she was active in all Red Cross,
War Savings Stamps and other drives. To the union of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman one
child has been born: Fletcher Lowry, whose birth occurred on the 17th of May,
1906, and who is now attending the Clara Barton school.
Since attaining his majority Guy R. Sherman has given his strict allegiance to
the democratic party, having firm belief in the principles of that party as
factors in good government. His religious faith is that of the Episcopal church
and he is identified with the Calhoun Commercial Club. For recreation Mr.
Sherman turns to fishing and he is a lover of fine horses.
