Contra Costa Gazette, 2 Nov 1918
Major R.H. Sherman
"Word has been received here of the death in Paris of Major Raymond Hough Sherman, formerly of this city, as the result of pneumonia. Major Sherman was born and raised in Martinez. He was a graduate of the University of California with the class of 1896 and was prominent in athletics during his college career. He enlisted with the British Red Cross at the beginning of the war.
With the entry of the United States into the war, he secured his transfer into the service of the American Red Cross and was given the rank of Major. He was in charge of store houses and distributing all Red Cross supplies reaching Europe from America. For a time he was in Italy, being sent there to take care of the Red Cross work during the recent victorious drive launched against the Austrians by the Italian Army. Returning to Paris he again assumed charge of the Red Cross there.
Major Sherman is survived by his mother, Mrs. Elnora Sherman of San Francisco, a wife, Mrs. Eda Moody Sherman of Paris, France, two children, Eda M. Sherman and Frederick Moody Sherman of Paris, France; a sister, Mrs. I.R. Bailey of Brentwood, Contra Costa County, Miss Emily Sherman of San Francisco and a brother Grove A. Sherman, who is also in the service of the Red Cross in the battlefields.
Major Sherman, who was 45 years old, had resided in Paris with his family for the past 12 years, being engaged in the automobile business previous to the war. He was an incessant worker from the beginning and at first drove an automobile up to the firing line, never receiving the slightest wound. Latterly, however, his health gave way, but he kept at his work until his death.
In a recent letter Major Sherman says that numerous shells from the German long-range guns dropped in the immediate vicinity of his home in Paris and rejoices that the guns have been put out of action, and the airplanes have been driven so far away they make no more successful raids on the city.
He speaks of the great inspiration that General Pershing and his boys have been to the Allies, of the wonderful work being done by the Red Cross and urges the people of the United States to be liberal in their support of this institution of mercy."
