The grave of Milton Sherk is clearly marked in the Shirksville cemetery. Every year the veterans society comes to place another American flag on the grave. But who was Milton? And why would the great-grandson of the first Mennonite preacher at Shirksville go serve in the Union Army of the Civil War. This sermon explores Milton Sherk's short life, the trials he endures and lessons for our youth and parents today.
