Sherman shared several stories in a recorded video interview for the museum. He discussed his father’s immigration to Niagara from Poland, his life growing up and raising his family.

He also donated some letters he had saved while serving in World War II.

Sherman was 17 years old when he entered the service. He left employment with Kimberly Clark Paper Mill, along with many other young men in Niagara. While the men were gone, no matter where they were stationed, letters were sent to the soldiers to give them information from their hometown.

They all received the same mimeographed letter, but it was precious news from home.

Longtime Niagara, Wis. resident Frank Sherman, 98, recently made a stop to the Niagara Historical Museum. He also provided many stories for a video interview.

Sherman saved all his letters in the original envelopes and gave them to the Niagara Museum for the benefit of future generations.

The video interview with Sherman will be available soon, along with other short stories about Niagara.
