General Notes: Husband - Caspar Sherman

---

When fourteen years of age he came to America and for a time he attended school, quickly learning the English language. When the Civil War broke out he was one of the first to offer his services, in April, 1861, escaping from home in order to enter the Union army. His first enlistment, which covered three months, was in Company K, Fifth Regiment, Penna. Volunteer Infantry, and during this period he was located at Washington City and Alexandria, Virginia. In the meanwhile his people had moved to Butler, Pennsylvania, and he joined them there, but three months afterward he re-enlisted for three years or during the war, entering Company I, Seventh Regiment, Penna. Volunteer Cavalry. At the close of his three years of service, he was veteranized and continued in the army until the end of all hostilities. He saw much hard service and had two horses shot from under him, but received only a flesh wound. He was one of the army that marched to the sea under General Sherman.
After the close of the war, he went to work in an iron foundry in Allegheny City, where he continued until 1876 and then came to Butler, where he later opened up a bakery and confectionery business. This he developed into a very large enterprise, dealing both wholesale and retail, and shipping to many points. He was the head of the company, the other members of which were his three sons.
