JOHN C. SHERWIN was born at Berlin, Erie County, Ohio, February 6, 1851. His
early education was acquired in the public schools and later he attended
Ripon and Beloit colleges in Wisconsin. After leaving college he entered the
Madison Law School from which he graduated in 1875. He removed to Mason City,
Iowa, in 1876, where he entered upon the practice of his profession. He was
mayor of that city in 1884-5, and the latter year was elected District Attorney of
the Twelfth Judicial District. In September, 1888, he was appointed by the
Governor to fill a vacancy as judge of the District Court and was continuously
reelected, serving until 1900 when he became a judge of the Supreme Court,
having been elected on the Republican ticket.
