Best Answer

Probably of cold, on a freezing February day in New York.

At the funeral, when his old adversary, Joe Johnston, insisted on standing bareheaded, he was warned he would catch cold. Joe said "If that was me lying there, he would have stood bareheaded for me."

Sure enough, Joe caught pneumonia and died in three weeks - fifteen years older than Sherman.
