Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  The mooted question of who was to be deputy postmaster at Norwich was settled Thursday, when public announcement was made of the appointment of George J. Sherritt, the well-known cigar manufacturer.  The new appointee has lived in Norwich practically all of his life, coming here with his parents when between 3 and 4 years old.  Upon leaving the public school, he learned the trade of cigar making and has been engaged in that line of business for himself for nearly 20 years.
 
In politics, Mr. Sherritt has always been an active worker in the Republican ranks, since he first became a voter.  He has represented his town in county conventions and acted on the Town and Village Committees.  For a term of three years he was excise commissioner, Mr. Sherritt is an active Odd Fellow and belongs to other fraternal organizations.  He is married, making his home at 37 Mitchell street.  An only son, William Sherritt, holds by appointment a responsible position in the public service at Albany.  Mr. Sherritt, is receiving congratulations of his many friends upon his preferment.
