SHERIDAN, BERNARD, Bernard Sheridan has been successfully engaged in the livery business at Fond du Lac for the past two and a half years but was formerly identified with general agricultural pursuits and still owns a farm in Byron township. He is a worthy representative of one of the honored pioneer families of Fond du Lac county, three generations of Sheridans having been born in Byron township, where his birth occurred in 1854. His parents, Bernard and Elizabeth (Morgan) Sheridan, are both deceased, having died some years ago. The mother was a native of the state of New York. Bernard Sheridan was reared on the home farm and early became familiar with the duties and labors that fall to the lot of the agriculturist and which claimed his attention until about two and a half years ago. The farm in Bryon township is still in his possession, however. During the period of his residence in the city of Fond du Lac he has been engaged in the livery business and in this connection has won a gratifying and well merited measure of success. In 1874 Mr. Sheridan was united in marriage to Miss Anna McIntyre, whose parents are still living in this county. Our subject and his wife have four children, as follows: Bernard F., thirty-six years of age, who wedded Miss Catherine Negzinger, a daughter of Peter Netzinger; William H., who is thirty-four years old; Edward L., a young man of thirty; and Johanna May, who is twenty-four years of age. In politics Mr. Sheridan is a staunch democrat. He served as chairman at Byron for two years and in 1900 was elected county sheriff, discharging the duties of that office in a highly commendable and fearless manner. He belongs to St. Joseph's Catholic church at Byron and at one time served on its board of directors. That his life has at all times commanded the high respect which is uniformly tendered him is indicated in the fact that many of his staunchest friends are those who have known him from his boyhood to the present time.
