Maude Elsie Sherer was also known as Maude Elsie Sharp. Maude was very short and her husband Andrew Vance towered over her.She was very pretty and very self sufficient. She was married at 16and widowed when she was very young and had the responsibility ofraising two young sons. After her husband died, she remained inBucyrus and worked in one of the big women's clothing stores. She wasalso involved in some type of Women's Suffrage group. We have apicture of her in a uniform that she wore in connection with this.Then when both her sons were studying at Miami University in Oxford,Ohio she decided she would like to move there. Shorty made thearrangements and she moved to Oxford, Ohio. In Oxford she worked forthe telephone company. Both Shorty and Bob graduated from MiamiUniversity. When Shorty went to Niles, Ohio to teach, she then movedto Niles, Ohio. When Bob also began teaching in NIles, the three ofthem lived on Lincoln Avenue in a house later owned and renovated byCaroyl Reid, sister of Susan Sharp. Her son, Robert, said she wasknown as 'The Duchess' because she always dressed up. She was neversloppy and even when she lived alone she used to cook a full meal forherself. She was quite an organized person. It was she who kept manyrecords of the family history. I have some of the notes in herhandwriting.Maude was also a practical nurse. I am uncertain if shehad any formal training or not. She supported herself in Niles byserving as a 'private duty' nurse, caring for older wealthy womenduring the night.
