SHERMAN PULLEY
Among
the successful and prominent native sons of Lucas county is
numbered Sherman Pulley, who owns and operates two hundred
acres of land lying on section 1 and 12, Union township. He was born in this
township on the 6th of November, 1869, and is a son
of Henson and Charity Pulley, the former a native of Ohio and
the latter of Indiana. They
came as pioneers into Lucas county, making the journey
overland into Union township in 1865, and here the father
continued to reside until his death. His wife survives him and makes her home
on the old Pulley homestead in Union township. In their family
were eight children: Frank,
of Warren township; Mary and Mrs. Emma Rosetta Evans, both of
whom are deceased; Sherman, of this review; Mrs. Isadore
Delmar, of Oklahoma; Charley, who died at the age of one year;
Arthur, of Oklahoma; and Mrs. Kittora Morgan, of Arkansas, The oldest child in
this family was born in Indiana but all of the others are
natives of Union township.
Sherman
Pulley grew to manhood in Lucas county, acquiring his
education in the district schools and in his childhood
dividing his time between his studies and work in clearing,
improving and developing the homestead. Before he was of
age he was already a practical and able farmer, understanding
the best agricultural methods and all the details of farm
operation, a knowledge which forms the real basis of his rapid
and continued prosperity.
He is today one of the prominent agriculturists of this
vicinity, owning two hundred acres of choice land lying on
sections 1 and 12, Union township. The property is equipped with
substantial improvements and its neat and attractive
appearance indicates the owner’s careful supervision and
practical methods. He
engaged in general farming and is also extensively interested
in stock-raising, breeding good grades of hogs and Aberdeen
Angus cattle.
Mr.
Pulley is a member of the Baptist church, and fraternally is
identified with the Modern Woodmen of America. His political
allegiance is given to the democratic party and although not
an office seeker, he is at all times interested in community
affairs, cooperating heartily in all measures to advance the
interests of his native section.
