Sheridan Carroll
Today is the birthday anniversary of Sheridan Carroll, democratic nominee for sheriff of Richland county, who was born in Washington township, this county, June 16, 1874. He came to Mansfield when he was about two years old and immediately set about forming acquaintances in the city and country in order that he might know a lot of people well enough to ask them to vote for him when he became a candidate for public office. As a young man he learned the trade of iron molder and worked at this for some years at the Baxter Stove works and the Aultman & Taylor plant. In 1901 he went onto the Mansfield police force and served as patrolman for five and a half years, resigning that position in September, 1906, to take the management of the Sullivan cigar stand, where he continued for six months. In February, 1907, he was appointed deputy sheriff by Sheriff G. A. Baer and is still serving in that capacity, having received the Democratic nomination for sheriff at the primary last month by a large majority.
