Sherman and the mother of former State Senator and Portsmouth Town Clerk Arthur Sherman. Abby kept a detailed diary from 1898 to 1932. She died in1933 at the age of 86. Her fascinating diary during those years was a record of a lot of activities back then. Photographs of Abby's family and views of the town during her lifetime enhance this talk.
