SHERRELL, McCOY, STONE



D. C. SHERRELL, citizen and merchant of Dellrose, and a native of Lincoln

County, Tenn., is a son of Dr. Joseph L. and Martha SHERRELL.  The father

was born in Lincoln County October 2, 1824, and is now a retired physician,

residing in the Sixteenth District.  The mother was also born in Lincoln

County, Tenn., and died in 1862.  Our subject received an excellent

education, and January 1, 1880, was united in marriage to Mary E. McCOY,

who was born in Giles County, January 1, 1862, and whose parents were M. E.

and Elinor McCOY, of Bradshaw, Giles County.  To our subject and wife was

born one child:  Horace E.  Previous to his marriage D. C. SHERRELL entered

the employ of Hill, Miller & Co., merchants of Pulaski, Giles County, as

salesman, and afterward entered into partnership with W. H. STONE, and

began merchandising at Dellrose, where he has since continued.  From 1873

to 1876 he was alone in the business, but in 1881 W. E. McCOY bought an

interest in the business, and the firm is known as D. C. Sherrell & Co.  He

and his brother, B. A., are also in the drug business, and are doing a good

business for a country town.  Mr. SHERRELL has also a harness shop at the

same place.  Mr. SHERRELL is a man much respected by all his acquaintances,

and is an excellent citizen and an obliging neighbor.  He is a Democrat,

and he and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South.

Dellrose can boast of a telephone.  The line runs from Pulaski to their

village, and the only one at the present time in Lincoln County.
