SONG OF SHERWOOD
(In the Days of Old)
By Ken Ford

Deep in the heart
of the Sherwood I know
Livin and lovin
is all that she knows
Nestled in the valleys
of Oregon she grows
Railroads and sawmills
and farms she will sow.

Chorus: Oh Mighty you be
but small that you are
Sherwood you're my home
I no longer roam.

Pain and sorrow
and loss we have known
Loved ones gained
and loved ones lost
Churches were built
and fellowships were formed
Freedom to worship
and worship we did.

Sherwood wasn't built in a day
it took the likes of a Robin
and his merry ole men
Men of renown
and women of great strength
They carved out a town
and she's a hundred years old.

Obituary: Sherwood Valley News, June 16, 1927       Ignatius Fosner, 90 Passes
     Ignatius Fosner, affectionately called Grandpa Fosner, died at the home of his son, Dr. E. A. Fosner, in this city Friday night of infirmities incident to old age. He had always enjoyed good health until about five months ago when he suffered a physical breakdown and had since gradually lost strength until death came.
     Grandpa Fosner was born in Austria in 1837 and departed this life May 10, 1927, aged 90 years and 3 months. He came, to American in 1866 and was married in 1870, He had 3 sons--Dr. E. A. Fosner, of Sherwood, and 2 sons in Sacramento, California.
     Grandpa lived in Sherwood about ?? years, and although being nearly blind from cataracts he was able to go about, having good health until his last sickness which confined him to his bed for more than ? months, During this illness he was very patient and endured suffering without complaint. He trusted in his Savior and constantly called on the name of the Lord to help him bear the trials of life. And those who attended him at his bedside believe he has gone to his heavenly reward.
He was a kind father and an upright citizen, and he will be missed by his neighbors and friends. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church , of which he was a member and interment was made in Pleasant Hill cemetery.
Additional contributions:
       He married Naoma Pancake on August 21, 1869 in Noble County, Indiana. Naoma died there in 1906 and is buried in Oak Park Cemetery near Ligonier, Indiana. By 1910 Ignatius had moved in with his son Ernest and his family in Oregon. Their two other children were Charles Joseph Fosner and Harry Wright Fosner.
       The name FOSNER was spelled with an L in it when the family was in Indiana. It appears in the census records as FALSONER, FOLSNOMER and FOLSNOR. In a transcript of the Noble County marriage records Ignatius's name is spelled "Egnez Falconer". Egnez is probably the Austrian version of his name and Ignatius the anglicized version.
