From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Derby historian, author

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a photo of Albert F. Sherwood. 

Sherwood was born in 1842 on the Sherwood Farm, once located near the intersection of Sentinel Hill and David Humphreys Roads in Derby. 

He was a famous Derby historian who wrote the book "Memories of Old Derby" just before his death. In 1866, Sherwood married Emmeline B. Chatfield. He died in 1924 and was buried in Oak Cliff Cemetery in Derby. 

Note: The Library has two copies of his book in our Local History Room.
