From the public school he went to St. Gall's Academy, Milwaukee, and attended the Normal at Whitewater, teaching, meantime in all, ten terms in his native county, and two seasons in Milwaukee, at times, keeping an evening commercial school, afterward engaged in mercantile pursuits at Hartford and Schleisingerville. Married, Feb. 18, 1879, Mary E. Dengel. They had one son. Went into business with his wife's father, under the firm name of Dengle & Sherman. Another son of Mr. Dengel is now in the firm, which is A.
