Elmer LeRoy was born in South Dakota to Charles Oliver Sherman Schermerhorn of Huntington, Indiana and Christina Berndt of Neu Danzig, Russia who came to America in 1889 with her Mother Anna Maria Pudwill-Berndt and Grandparents the Pudwill's.
When Elmer's father Charles Oliver Schermerhorn was 17 he went to work in North Dakota and shortened his last name to Sherman, but made sure his children knew they were Schermerhorn's.
Elmer's family lived near Herreid, South Dakota close to his Pudwill family most of his childhood. But later would move to Oregon with his parents and siblings, even the married daughters came west with the family.
Elmer was the 7th of 10 children. He lived many places but spent most of his adult life residing in Oregon. But he loved to go to Alaska, Idaho, and had traveled to most of the other states including Mexico.
As a young man he was working in Idaho when he met and married Pansy May Brown in 1930. They were married 58 years when she died. Elmer was a log truck driver most of his life; at a time when logging was much more dangerous, hauling old growth timber from Weyco land.
Elmer was also a rock hound and polished his own stones and made many pieces of beautiful jewelry. He also loved fishing, hunting, camping and traveling but most of all he loved all his grand-kids.
In 1994 he was so proud and happy when his first Great-Great-Granddaughter was born on his birthday making 5 generations of living family. He was a wonderful Grandpa and led a full and happy life of 91 years.

Schermerhorn Genealogy & Family Chronicles:

Grandpa... You're free at last and may the mountain breezes carry you on your eternal journey.
About Kananskis Country, Alberta, Canada
Kananaskis Country is a forest reserve of 4200 square kilometers stretching from the foothills to the Continental Divide. Throughout most of Kananaskis motorized vehicles are prohibited, so horse and foot are still the only ways to see the country. The eastern slopes of the Rockies rise from the area of the ranch, where ridges are just less that 5000' (1500m) above sea level, to the Continental Divide, where the higher peaks exceed 11000' (3300 m) and remain snow covered throughout the year. The fast flowing rivers issuing from the mountains are crystal clear, having never passed a house or road. Many species of big game call this country home: elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, mule and white-tailed deer, cougar, black and grizzly bears. Spotting these magnificent but elusive animals is an extraordinary treat.
