ERVIE ETTA SHERMAN Manitowoc Pilot May 31, 1888 Died- At Manitowoc, Wis., May 25th 1888, Ervie E Sherman, youngest daughter of Lewis and Elizabeth Sherman, aged 26 years and 10 months. Twenty six years ago ther came into the world this spirit bright, joyous, hopeful constituted by nature to preeminently enjoy the pleasures of earth-life. For some reason which we cannot understand, it seemed best to the Divine Wisdom that this beautiful spirit should inhabit a body exceedingly susceptible to the encroacments of disease. In early childhood there began a friction between the spirit and flesh which grew into a mighty struggle. Year by year subtle disease fastened itself more firmly upon the body bringing such dire pains and afflictions as few ever experience, debarring the spirit from all social pleasures and sapping life of almost every joy. In the midst of all these trials when sympathy was so precious, Death tore away a tender loving mother and most kind father. Nor was this spirit benumbed by disease to its sorrows and depravations, as in many cases, but was left keenly alive and sensitive to it's real afflictions. Do we wonder that it was hard to be reconciled, or that the soul was tempted in bitterness to cry-"How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? Forever" But, let us rejoice that into the darkness their came light, into the terrible combat there came aid to the spirit so that, in spite of powers of evil, it rose triumphant into that realm of "peace which passeth understanding" and there patiently, hopefully, unmurmuringly, even cheerfully, awaited its perfect release from the enemy walready conquered. At last, that release has come and the freed spirit with joy unutterable mounts to it's reward.
