FROM GENERAL SHERMAN'S BIRTHPLACE.
Lancaster, Ohio, Feb. 14th, 1891.
To P. T. Sherman:—
Lancaster, the birthplace and home of your illustrious father, is enshrouded in gloom over the sad intelligence of his death. Public action is being taken by the citizens, and the expression of sorrow is universal. The town is draped in mourning, and a memorial meeting will be held. All business will be suspended, and every mark of love and respect will be shown the greatest soldier of the war who first saw the light of day in the village that now greatly reveres his memory.
