ROGER S. SHERMAN
Vol. 3, p. 1269

Of the well known Tulsa law firm of WEST, SHERMAN & DAVIDSON, with
offices in the Palace building, Roger S. Sherman is a Harvard
University graduate and has been in active practice at Tulsa for the
past eight years.

Considering the fact that a considerable part of his legal business
is identified with the oil and gas companies of Northern Oklahoma, it
is interesting to note that Roger S. Sherman was born a one of the
center of the Pennsylvania oil district, Titusville. He was born
March 11, 1879, a son of Roger and Alma S. (SEYMOUR) Sherman. His
father was born in Tennessee in 1839 and died in Titusville September
19,1897. During the civil war he served as a member of General
FORREST'S noted cavalry command. He was liberally educated in his
native state. And was admitted to practice at the bar of the State of
Arkansas. Not long after the close of the war he removed to
Pennsylvania and for many years carried on an active practice as a
lawyer at Titusville. Politically he acted with the democratic party.
His wife was born in Michigan in 1848 and is still living in
Pennsylvania. She is the mother of two children, and her daughter
Alma is the wife of Thomas W. PHILLIPS, Jr. of Butler, Pennsylvania.

In the person of his father, Roger S. Sherman had the example and
the resources of a cultured and successful lawyer to stimulate and
guide his early activities, and from the public schools of Titusville
he entered Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, prepared for college ,
and in 1901 graduated A. B. from Harvard College. Several years later
he was admitted to the bar, and on August 1, 1907, established his
home at Tulsa. He was identified with an individual practice up to
May, 1913, but is now associated with Preston C. WEST and A. A.
DAVIDSON. This is a combination of brains and experience which makes
the firm one of the strongest in Northeastern Oklahoma. They handle a
general practice and are also corporation attorneys for several
Oklahoma oil and gas companies.

Mr. Sherman is a member of the Tulsa County Bar Association and the
Oklahoma State Bar Association and in politics is a democrat.
