ROGER S. SHERMAN 
Of the well known Tulsa law firm of WEST, SHERMAN & DAVIDSON, with offices in the Palace building, Roger S. Sherman is a Harvard University graduate and has been in active practice at Tulsa for the past eight years. 
Considering the fact that a considerable part of his legal business is identified with the oil and gas companies of Northern Oklahoma, it is interesting to note that Roger S. Sherman was born a one of the center of the Pennsylvania oil district, Titusville. He was born March 11, 1879, a son of Roger and Alma S. (SEYMOUR) Sherman. His father was born in Tennessee in 1839 and died in Titusville September 19,1897. During the civil war he served as a member of General FORREST'S noted cavalry command. He was liberally educated in his native state. And was admitted to practice at the bar of the State of Arkansas. Not long after the close of the war he removed to Pennsylvania and for many years carried on an active practice as a lawyer at Titusville. Politically he acted with the democratic party. His wife was born in Michigan in 1848 and is still living in Pennsylvania. She is the mother of two children, and her daughter Alma is the wife of Thomas W. PHILLIPS, Jr. of Butler, Pennsylvania. 
In the person of his father, Roger S. Sherman had the example and the resources of a cultured and successful lawyer to stimulate and guide his early activities, and from the public schools of Titusville he entered Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, prepared for college , and in 1901 graduated A. B. from Harvard College. Several years later he was admitted to the bar, and on August 1, 1907, established his home at Tulsa. He was identified with an individual practice up to May, 1913, but is now associated with Preston C. WEST and A. A. DAVIDSON. This is a combination of brains and experience which makes the firm one of the strongest in Northeastern Oklahoma. They handle a general practice and are also corporation attorneys for several Oklahoma oil and gas companies. 
Mr. Sherman is a member of the Tulsa County Bar Association and the Oklahoma State Bar Association and in politics is a democrat.
