Bio
Son of William & Letitia Sherman of Richland Co, OH Enlisted as a private in Co. E, 102nd OVI, on 12 August 1862 at the age of 21. While the regiment was on garrison duty at Decatur, AL, on 24 September 1864, Private Huston was assigned to a detachment whose mission was to relieve Ft. Henderson at nearby Athens, AL, which was under siege by rebel cavalry under the command of CSA Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest. After detraining, the detachment began fighting to gain the fort, and had made good progress, when the commander of the fort suddenly surrendered. Forrest then forced the detachment, including Private Huston, to surrender as well. Huston was taken to Cahaba Prison, but was exchanged on 22 April 1865 and survived the explosion and sinking of the steamer "Sultana" on 27 April 1865, near Memphis, TN. He was mustered out at Columbus, OH, on 12 June 1865. The Urbana Daily Citizen May 4, 1888 The saw mill of Sherman Huston, northwest of Urbana in Concord Twp, burned this morning.
