I
have an old studio photograph of Ammorn SHERRATT of Waterloo, IA which was
taken at the Ferguson Studio in Reinbeck, IA. The photograph is dated 13 Sept
1900 with Ammorn appearing to be in his 20's at the time it was taken. Based on
limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding the
photograph and this family:
?
Ammorn
Jeweler SHERRATT was b. 28 Aug 1873 in Grundy County, Iowa to parents Joel Farrell
SHERRATT (1818-1891) and Rachel or Rachael SMITH (1840-1921).? Ammorn was one of 11 children born to this
couple including Elton; Joel F.; Samuel H.; Katie E.; Harriet; Amanda “Manda” Anna;
Solomon; Ammorn Jeweler; James; Minnie; and Clarence Chester SHERRATT, all born
between 1861 and 1880.? Ammorn’s father
had 6 additional children from a previous marriage, including Barnett Byron;
Mary Eliza; William H.; Shotwell “Shot” or “Shottie” P.; Charlotte O.; and
Clarissa M. SHERRATT, all born between 1845 and 1859.?
?
Ammorn
married Bessie SHERRATT (b. 1876) and he died 10 Dec 1915 or 1916 in Black Hawk
County, IA and he is buried in the Hudson Cemetery in Hudson, IA.
?
I
am hoping to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you
contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
