Английская Википедия:Franklin D. Sherwood
Franklin D. Sherwood (December 25, 1841 in Wheeler, Steuben County, New York – September 14, 1907 in Hornell, Steuben Co., NY) was an American politician from New York.
Life
He attended the common schools, Lima Academy, and Alfred University. In 1870, he removed to Hornellsville, and engaged in mercantile and manufacturing pursuits.
He was Sheriff of Steuben County from 1877 to 1879.
In November 1891, he was elected to the State Senate, but his Democratic opponent Charles E. Walker contested the election in the courts. Sherwood was at the time of election a member of the Board of Park Commissioners of the City of Hornellsville, and was ultimately declared ineligible by the New York Court of Appeals under Section 3, Article VIII, of the State Constitution. The Board of State Canvassers refused to declare any candidate elected, leaving it to the State Senate to decide how to proceed, and Walker was seated at the beginning of the session of the 115th New York State Legislature by a vote of the Democratic majority of the Senate.
Sherwood was a delegate to the 1892 Republican National Convention[1] and a presidential elector in the 1896[2] and 1900 presidential elections.[3]
Sherwood was a member of the New York State Senate (41st D.) from 1899 to 1904, sitting in the 122nd, 123rd, 124th, 125th, 126th and 127th New York State Legislatures.
He died on September 14, 1907, in Hornell, New York, and was buried at the Hope Cemetery there.
