	Sherman L. Whipple, who died suddenly of a heart attack, early Monday
morning, was another New Hampshire boy who made good in a large way in 
another state.  He was one of the ablest trial lawyers of his generation in 
New England.  His mind was a brilliant and quick working one and it was an 
intellectual treat to sit in a court room and hear him conduct a case.  He 
was the sort of a lawyer one desires to represent him, a fighter throughout, 
on his toes every instant alert to every opportunity.  Few have ever equaled 
him in these respects and in picturesqueness.  He was a native of New London 
in this state, attended school there and then went to Yale.  It was a hard 
struggle for his parents to send him to a college of that standing, but they
sold livestock from their farm to do it and later on, unlike many parents in
similar cases, they certainly reaped their reward.  Mr. Whipple had never 
held public office of consequence, although he was an ardent Democrat and 
took much interest in public affairs.  He had been his party’s candidate for
governor of Massachusetts.  He was in the prime of his mental powers at the 
time of his death, being two years this side of seventy, and his passing will
be sincerely mourned.
