"The full-blooded
Sherer" is from 5'10" to 6'3" tall. His feet are always large and
his average weight is 175 pounds.
-
He is tough as
Whit leather, muscular, hardy and capable of great endurance.
-
He is always
the strongest man physically in his community, and no man was
ever known to do more work in a day than he can do. A loafer he
despises. Work or starve is his motto. He is hard headed as a
wooden ox, and when his head is set its set. You may beat him
in the face with a cudgel of logic and with reason as big as a
pike staff, but he will close his eyes and go straight on to the
mischief, if necessary.
-
He is as
stubborn as a mule, and as contrary as the wind, which always
blows smoke in your face.
-
He is rather
good slow in his movements, slow to anger and slow to get in a
good humor again. Slow to make friends with
-
Anyone, and
slow to cast them away once made. In profession of friendship,
he is sincere.
-
He has a
profound contempt for anyone who is fool enough to dislike him.
You can not drive him and you can not frighten him. He is as
independent as a hog on ice and scarcely ever asks a favor.
-
He takes care
of himself and his own affairs and expects everyone else to do
the same.
-
He believes
that a thief, and a liar, and a hypocrite, a politician. And a
man who won’t pay his depts is an abomination in the sight of
the lord and was condemned before the foundation of the world.
-
He is always
kind and gentle to his wife and neither of them ever dreamed of
the divorce court.
-
He is neither
rich nor poor, but plenty he always has. If it is not necessary
for him to be away, you will always find him at home.
-
He is never a
drunkard and he will never mix with the loafing criminal scum of
the earth, and he will stay out of the courts.
-
He sticks to
the old farm, and raises every necessity to run it, from boys to
goobers.
Saint
Peter may shock him at the pearly gates by the demand for an
increase of the talents given him, what then will his reactions be?

- Col. John M. Sherer
