"In due time the daughter, Mary married a man named Bedford, and to them a little daughter was born,
who was named after her mother, Lola. Just before the war began Mr. Bedford went down the Mississippi
to get work in the South. The war came on and he was never heard from afterward. There was good reason to
believe he was killed because he would not go into the Confederate army." "Afer the war Mary married a Samuel
Sherman, who had served as a musician in Company F of the Thirteenth Wisconsin regiment, having enlisted
from Shopiere, Rock County, September 21, 1861 and been mustered out November 21, 1864.
By Mr. Sherman Mary had two sons and a daughter- William, now living in Chicago, Charles, a
musician of some note, and May, now a Mrs. Stott in Chicago. Samuel Sherman died in Chicago
in the early 90's and Mary is now a trained nurse in that city. She is a bright, intelligent and capable woman."
