Sherwood of Oxford, as well as a number of nieces, nephews and cousins.  The funeral services were held from his late home in Frankfort on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.  The body was brought to Norwich, and services conducted at the chapel in Mount Hope Cemetery at 1 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon.  Rev.
