He married Alma Lydia Clevenger before he was twenty years old. (Alma's brother, Roscoe, married Clara, who was the sister of Sherman.) Sherman & Alma had three children; Charlotte, "Lottie", Earl, and Archibald, "Archie". For many years Sherman lived in the vicinity of Big Lake, and Montborne until moving to Rt. No. 5 in 1932.
