JOHN SHERMAN

Check for $10, made out to "Custer & Brother [illegible]" and drawn on Sherman's account at the First National Bank in Mansfield, Ohio. Republican Sherman (1823-1900) served as Ohio Congressman from 1855 to 1861 and U.S. Senator from 1861 to1877, when he became Secretary of the Treasury under President Hayes (1877-1881). He was then elected U.S. Senator in place of James A. Garfield, who had been elected President, and served from 1881 to 1897.
