Biographical Sketch
Lawrence Yates Sherman, Republican U.S. Senator (1913-1921), was born November 8, 1858 in
Miami County, Ohio. His parents Nelson and Maria (Yates) Sherman, first moved to McDonough
County, Illinois in 1859 and eventually settled in Jasper County in 1867. Sherman attended public
school and the Lees Academy in Coles County. In order to pay for a college education he
alternately taught school in Effingham and Jasper counties and attended McKendree College at
Lebanon, Illinois.
Sherman graduated from McKendree College in 1882. In that same year he was admitted to the
bar and began practicing law in Macomb (McDonough County), Illinois. Besides being a partner
in the law firm of Sherman, Tunnicliff and Gumbart, Sherman was elected Macomb city attorney
in 1885. From 1886 to 1890, he served as McDonough County Judge. In 1896 Sherman was
elected to the Illinois House of Representatives from the twenty-eighth district. He represented the
twenty-eighth district from 1897 to 1902 and the thirty-second district from 1903 to1904. During
the 41st (1899-1900) and 42nd (1901-1902) General Assemblies, Sherman served as Speaker of the
House. He was elected Lieutenant Governor of Illinois in 1904 and served during the first
administration of Charles Deneen (1905-1908). After leaving the Lieutenant Governorship,
Sherman who had made Springfield his home, ran unsuccessfully for mayor. From 1909 to 1913
he was president of the Illinois State Board of Administration, which controlled seventeen state
charities.
On March 26, 1913 the Illinois General Assembly elected Sherman to fill the unexpired term
(1913-1915) of William Lorimer, who had been expelled. Sherman was reelected to the Senate in
1914. During his senatorial career, Sherman vigorously opposed ratification of Woodrow Wilson’s
proposal for a League of Nations. He was chairman of the Committee for the District of Columbia
and a vocal critic of President Wilson. In 1915, Sherman was considered as a potential candidate
for the 1916 Republican Presidential nomination. He also served as a member of the Republican
National Committee from 1916 to 1924 and was a delegate to the Republican National
Conventions in 1912, 1920, 1924 and 1928. Sherman did not seek reelection in 1920 because of a
hearing problem. Following his Senate retirement in 1921, he practiced law in Springfield.
In 1924, Sherman moved to Daytona Beach, Florida where he also practiced law. He was among
the organizers of the First Atlantic National Bank of Daytona Beach in 1924 and served as its
president in 1925. He later became chairman of the bank board and when it merged with the
Atlantic National Bank of Jacksonville in 1930, Sherman served as a director of the new
institution until his retirement in 1933.
Sherman was married briefly to Ella M. Crews, who died in 1893 after two years of marriage. In
1908 he married Estelle Spitler, a niece of his first wife. Their only child Virginia (Mrs. Marion H.
Graham) was born in 1909. Estelle Sherman died in 1910. Sherman died in Daytona Beach,
Florida, on September 15, 1939.

Scope and Content
The Lawrence Y. Sherman papers, 1871-1939, consist of 75 cubic feet and 1 oversize folder, of
family and legislative correspondence, telegrams, newspaper clippings, pamphlets and leaflets,
magazine articles, and speeches. Most of this material dates from 1912 to 1920. The collection
primarily documents Sherman’s tenure in the U.S. Senate from 1913 to 1921, particularly with
regard to United States entry into World War I and the debate concerning American participation
in the League of Nations. Sherman’s early political career, including his two terms as Speaker of
the Illinois House and his term as Lieutenant Governor, is also documented. Personal papers detail
his courtship of Estelle Spitler and other family matters. There is little material from Sherman’s
post-senatorial years.
The collection was originally stored in letterboxes and had been used by a researcher before it
arrived at the Historical Library. Some letters had been damaged by insects, water, and rusty pins
and paperclips, and many of the newspaper clippings were deteriorating. Over the years, a number
of Historical Library employees have worked to organize parts of the collection. The current effort
to process the complete collection resulted in a re-boxing of the material. The outlines of what
appear to be the original order of the papers have been maintained so far as they could be
determined, but certain decisions regarding processing (such as the removal of all pamphlets,
leaflets, broadsides, and printed items from the correspondence files) had been made before
current arrangement work had begun. Although the folder titles that identified the contents of the
collection with it arranged at the Historical Library occasionally appear to be misleading
(particularly in the subject files and foreign affairs and foreign nations files), they have been
retained pending further analysis.
The collection is arranged into nine files; Correspondence, 1871-1933 and 1936-1938;
Correspondence Filed by Person, 1885-1933; Family Correspondence, 1874-1926 and 1939;

Pamphlets and Ephemera, 1888-1938.
The Correspondence, 1871-1933 and 1936-1938 (Boxes 1-55) is arranged chronologically and
contains personal, political, general business and constituent letters; telegrams; and newspaper
clippings. The bulk of the correspondence dates from 1912 to 1918. Major topics include Illinois
state politics, legal matters, legislative committee appointments, Sherman’s election to the U.S.
Senate, his campaign for the 1916 Republican Presidential nomination, Prohibition, and Woodrow
