IN RE: MEMORIAL FOR MINNIE GABERT SHERWOOD
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Mrs. William (Minnie Gabert) Sherwood of Pontiac passed away on April 2, 1960,
following an automobile accident in Pontiac.
For the past 16 years Mrs. Sherwood has served the County faithfully and well as
a member of the Oakland Board of Canvassers. She served as Secretary of that Board and
was known for her exquisite penmanship. It was with a great deal of pride that Minnie so
many times did carefully pick up her fine pointed pen and inscribe thousands of figures in
the ledgers after each of the elections in Oakland County since 1944.
Previous to her appointment to the Board of Canvassers she had served as an
employee in the Register of Deeds office for 19 years. She was past Worthy High Priestess
of White Shrine Chapter 22, a member of the Oakland Park Methodist Church and the Order
of Eastern Star, Chapter 228. She was a wonderful person and, in the words of the other
members of the Canvassing Board, she was a good citizen and a fine friend.
Mrs. Sherwood leaves her husband, a sister Mrs. Ernest E. SeImes of Commerce,
and two brothers, Henry Gabert of Pontiac and Fred Gabert of Caro.
MR., CHAIRMAN, on behalf of all the members of the Board of Supervisors, I move
that this Memorial be spread upon the minutes of this meeting and that a copy thereof be
forwarded by the County Clerk to her surviving husband, her sister and brothers.
