Biography
Frank Sherman was from Woodland. Frank Sherman served a prison sentence in San Quentin from December 21, 1921, to February 21, 1926.
The contemporary prisoner birthday list gives his birthday as February 5 (no birth year has surfaced) and his San Quentin number as 35768. He was convicted under the California criminal-syndicalism law in January 1922, essentially for his association with and advocacy for the IWW.
The International Labor Defense holiday roster in the December 29, 1925 Daily Worker lists this prisoner, printed as Frank Sherman, at San Quentin California. Its printed identifier is 35768; this is a prison number or mailing designation, not a year or a custody date. This documents confinement at the roster’s reporting time, without establishing an admission, transfer, release, new conviction or complete duration. Existing independently sourced custody chronology remains separate. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1925/1925-ny/v02b-n297-NYE-dec-29-1925-DW-LOC.pdf#page=5
The January 28, 1924 issue of The Daily Worker individually listed Frank Sherman among the political and class-war prisoners at San Quentin State Prison in California, in an appeal to fund newspaper subscriptions for imprisoned people. This is a contemporary custody observation; the publication date does not establish admission, release, or a total period served.
