Info from the SSDI indicates that John Harris SHERMAN, b: 22May1917 in Des Moines, IA, died in Tampico on 4Feb1999.
I am hoping to locate his obituary, in attempt to locate any living family members. John's g.grandfather, Lampson SHERMAN was the brother of Gen. William T. - and Lampson's family home in Des Moines is currently being restored as a National Historical site.
Please contact me at: ArtCohan1@earthlink.net
Thanks.

I reviewed my transcriptions from the Tampico Tornado newspaper and I only logged 1 entry from SHERMAN (other than obit's referring to the Civil War general):
June 20, 1918
Dr. H.A. TERRY the health officer fumigated the residences of G.W. SHERMAN, Wm. KILROY and Wm. McCREEDY this week and after proper examination raised the scarlet fever quarantine and let the people in those homes out of their homes. Mr. SHERMAN who has been rooming and boarding away from home returned to the fold much to his and his family's rejoicing after a five weeks enforced absence with only hello visits.

My Sherman family came from around Falmouth, and penobscot county, Maine. Eliza Sherman married James or John Harrington. They had ca 10 children, but only ca 5/6 grew up. One son died in civil war and one daughter married Samuel Shaw on 28 Nov 1841. Have been told Eliza Sherman was cousin to G.W. Sherman. But no proof as of yet. Have my Sherman tree completed. A family member done it. She said it was an easy family to connect because the all left will's.
