  GrahamClayton: Sherwood was the inaugral editor of the chess column in the "Los Angeles Times" from 1927 until mid-1933.

Sherwood committed suicide at Burbank, CA on the 20th June 1933, after he was being pursued by police for the murder of Gabrielle Andrieux, whom Sherwood shot after she rejected his advances.

  Tabanus: His World War I Reg. card 1918 says b. 6 Dec 1883.

Nearest relative in 1918 was P. C. Lounsbury who was Governor of Connecticut 1887-1889, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial..., apparently his uncle.
