Sherman was the son of Jay Charlie & Flossie (Wilson) Dunn. He was never married. Family meant everything to Sherman, and loved his family immensely.
When Sherman was a child, he had polio. His parents didn't know, that this was the cause of his problems or what it was. He developed a hump on his back, after falling one night. It was difficult for him to get around and he had to use a cane. But he managed and he did more than some of us will ever do.
Sherman was a genealogist. He was very interested in the history involved with his ancestors and everyone in the counties near where he lived.
Sherman followed the example of Kathryn Salyers, who surveyed and recorded all of the Carroll County cemeteries which were east of the Kentucky River, and Sherman (with the help of his niece, Margaret McAllister, daughter of his oldest brother Charlie), surveyed and recorded all of the cemeteries west of the Kentucky River. Margaret drove him there and cleared the pathway or crawled through places that Sherman simply could not get to, which allowed plenty of time for her to spend with her uncle, whom she adored. The Carroll County Historical Society wasn't interested in publishing their book, so they approached the Trimble County Historical Society with the project. The Trimble County Historical Society gladly published the work they had done.
Sherman also recorded other cemeteries in other counties including Gallatin, Henry, Owen & Trimble to help other families.
Sherman was generous, his group sheets for other people's families can be found as far as California, New York or Florida. Our mutual cousin, Margaret, wrote to him and he provided her with census records, cemetery records, as well as personal stories about most of our "Kin". Sherman was a soft hearted person who loved everyone.
He will be sadly missed for those of us who knew him personally or just knew about him.
