Notes about William Douglas "Bill" (William Douglas "Bill") Sherren Sr.

William Douglas, (elder son of John), was a plasterer by trade, specializing in artistic designing. Much of his work may be seen today in Crapaud and Charlottetown. At the death of his only brother, George Clark, (who died at age 27 years), he took over his father’s farm. Later he purchased three adjoining farms owned by Richard Boyle, John Fall, and Nathan Percival.
William D. took a prominent part in the designing and building of the present St. John’s Church. He was a Charter Member of Prince Arthur L.O.L. and a direct of Crapaud Creamery Company for many years. When he was in his fifties, William became crippled with rheumatism and had to be looked after by his wife and children. After William´s death in 1935 his property was divided between three of his sons (for consideration); Frederick, Louis and Edward.
