The dedication of a statue of Gen
eral Phil Sheridan at Somerset, Ohio,
on Nov. End, revives interest in the
career of the great cavalry leader of
the Union armies. The state of Ohio
erected the statue, an equestrian one

which will stand in the public square
of the quaint old village in which
Sheridan lived as a boy. 1t was al
ways believed prior to his death, that
Sheridan was born in the village. He
and his family allowed the impression
to remain as there was some hope
that he might be nominated for Presi-
dent Sheridan himself was always
proud to call himself an Ohio man.
When he died his relatives admitted
that he was not even born in this
country, but on a ship when LIS par
ents we've en- route from Ireland.
They settled first at Albany, N. Y,
and there his birth was recorded
However it was in Somerset that he
grew up, a quick alert little Irish lad
whose greatest delight in youth was
to await the coming of the stage that
he might ride the horses to water.
His old mother used to tell in her de-
clining years of Phillies great love for
horses and how hard his father used
to whip him for riding every horse he
could find to mount.
Early Cavalry Training.
That early love of horses stood Phil
in good stead when he entered the |
cavalry arm of the service and fitted
him for the famous "Sheridan's Ride"
to the battle of Winchester. Sheridan
began as a clerk in the village store
and was sent to West Point by con-
gresham who hoped to catch the
Irish Catholic vote. Alas, the con-
gresham was beaten, but he gave the
nation great soldier and in later
years when the man was in trouble,
Sheridan came to his relief in a CRATE
full manner. The mother of Sheridan
almost outlived him and died at the
age of 80 retaining her faculties to the
last. He visited her often and she
was never so happy as when she told
Ill her neighbors my Phillie is COM
