Milton Kellum Sherman and Addie Mae Sly married 17 February 1902 in Oscoda near Tawas City, Michigan. They had met when Mae, as she was called, worked as a waitress at the Elliot House Hotel. Milton and other loggers were patrons there. The two fell in love and planned to marry. Mae's parents were moving to Montana and wanted her to go with them and Milton to follow. They could then be married out west. Instead Mae and Milton married in Michigan. She then went west with her family and Milton followed. They lived in a little cabin on Mae's parents homestead.They had one child, Bertha Irene Sherman. They separated and he went back to Michigan about 1905. Bertha was about 2 years old. Bertha knew nothing more about her father"

Milton Sherman was born 26 Nov 1880 in Kingsmill, Ontario, Canada. He immigrated to the US in 1884 with his family. He was the 1st of 13 children born to James and Martha Sherman. His youngest sister, Matilda, said about him, "I have never known Milton to be anything but kind and gentle to everyone. He was always a very calm, quiet man. He would never argue or quarrel with any one. As a young man, he worked as a lumberman." Milton also logged after moving to Montana with Mae. It is said someone shot just above his head while he was in their cabin and he decided he had to leave. He asked Mae and Bertha to go with him. Mae refused.Mae's sister, Carrie, said that he sent letters and money for support, but Bertha never knew about it.. I was told that Addie's step father was ornery and did not like Milton. Milton returned to Michigan. Matilda stated, "What happened between Mae and Milton I never heard. I do know he loved her and Bertha very much. When he came home I was only about 7 years of age, but I remember he had a picture of Bertha at about age 2. He had that picture enlarged and it hung in our parlor. Several times I have gone into the parlor and found him standing before that picture with tears running down his face." In 1908, he married Zoey Sharrow and they had four children. In 1916, he moved to Detroit and worked in an auto factory. His WWI draft registration in 1917 lists him as medium height, slender with blue eyes. After WWI, he moved to Auburn, Michigan, a farming community, and became a farmer. He moved to the farm in Manton, Michigan sometime in the 30's, staying there until his death." Milton died in Michigan in 1953 at age 73 from heart problems.

Addie Mae Sly was born 3 May 1881 in Oscoda, Michigan, the 2nd of 3 children of Loren and Libby Sly. Mae's father left in the 1890's for the gold fields. He did not return. Her mother later married Richard Smith. The following was written by Milton Sherman's sister, Matilta: "As a young girl, Mae Sly worked as a waitress at the Elliot House Hotel. It included a restaurant and bar. I seem to remember that her parents worked for the Elliots also. Mae Sly was a very beautiful girl. She had most of the young men in a whirl for sure. However, Milton won her. When her parents decided to move to Montana, Mae insisted on going too. Milton, being so mad about her, gave in and went along. After Milton left Mae, she went with her aunt, Carrie Fletcher, to Port Angeles, Washington to seek work as a waitress. She left Bertha with Grandma Libby and Dick Smith. She worked in Washington, Montana, and perhaps Alaska until her marriage to Roy Lamb.
.Mae married James Leroy Lamb in Lacrosse, Washington, 23 Dec 1908. They lived in Lacrosse, Washington until Oct., 1911, when they moved to a farm on a hill back from the mercantile on the main road that goes to Endicott, one mile East of Diamond, Washington. In 1919, Libby Smith died, so Bertha came to live with her mother and step-father (she considered him her father as she knew no other.) Mae loved working in her garden and fishing in the creek nearby. Scott has her fishing pole. Mae died in an automobile accident 16 January 1953 in Spokane, Washington from a ruptured Aorta and spleen. The car she was in slid on the ice. She was 72 years old when she died.
