A Pioneer Gone.
Rev. J. W. Sherrill, a minister of the Missionary Baptist Church, died at the residence of his son, J. E. Sherrill, of this place, on last Friday night, after a sickness of several days. Mr. Sherrill was widely known throughout this part of the State, and his funeral, which was held at his old home in Putnam County, was attended by one of the largest concourses of people ever gathered in that community, there being in attendance citizens from Monroe, Morgan, Putnam and Hendricks counties. The funeral was postponed until Tuesday, in order to give relatives from distance an opportunity to be present, and during the time the remains were awaiting burial, scores of people called at the house, to tender their sympathies to the family. Mr. Sherrill was a very popular man among his neighbors, who almost universally testified their esteem for him as a man. W. R. McClelland took charge of the body and had it embalmed, thus keeping it in a good state of preservation until the funeral. The family have the sympathy of a large number of friends in Danville and the county. (Republican, Danville, IN Oct. 4, 1883, Pg 1, Col. 6)
