General Notes: Husband - Ulysses Grant Sterrett

---

He received his education in the schools of the vicinity. He was well prepared for the responsibilities of life, becoming familiar with farm duties and the general routine of business as his father's assistant. He inherited a share of the home property and has increased his acreage by his own efforts, now owning more than three hundred and fifty acres, where he follows general farming and stock raising. He breeds Shorthorn cattle, and maintains a flock of over one hundred sheep, in every respect keeping up the reputation of the Sterrett family for up-to-date agricultural activities. His place is fifteen miles southwest of Franklin, near Wesley post office.
As a citizen Mr. Sterrett is doing his full share to keep Irwin Township to the front. He served seven years as a member of the school board and performed his duties faithfully, taking personal as well as civic pride in securing the best possible educational facilities for his community. On political questions he is an ardent Republican. He and his family have been active in Amity Presbyterian Church, and he was choir leader of the congregation for twenty-five years, eventually yielding place to his daughter, who now has charge of the church music. He succeeded his father as president of the session and also as superintendent of Mount Irwin cemetery, and in both associations has discharged his obligations with the utmost regard for the best interests of all concerned.
