SHERIDAN PLOUGHE was born in Howard county, Indiana, June 1, 1868. He removed to Hutchinson with his parents in February

of 1876, where he lived on a farm adjoining the city and attended the city schools. He graduated from the high school in 

the class of 1884, and entered the Kansas State University in the fall of 1886 and finished the Freshman year. He attended 

Garfield University, at Wichita, during the rest of his college course, graduating with the degree of A. B. in June, 1890. 

He then entered the law office of L. M. Fall, and was admitted to the Reno county bar in October of 1892, when he entered 

on the practice of his chosen profession. Mr. Ploughe afterward took up newspaper work, and was for a time publisher of the 

Hutchinson Independent.
