Central Hall, formerly a schoolhouse from 1882 to 1934, later served as the home of American Legion Sheret Post #35 until its sale to Orleans County in 1980. The post was named for Sgt. James Sheret, honored for extraordinary heroism and gallantry during World War I. On September 29, 1918, the 27th Division of the American Expeditionary Forces, including the 108th Infantry and Company F, charged German defenses at the Hindenburg Line on the Western Front near Ronssay, France, rushing two enemy posts and encountering a machine gun nest. James Sheret and his brother Pvt. Egbert Sheret were mortally killed in that action, and their younger brother Andrew, the company bugler, was severely wounded. James and Egbert are memorialized on a bronze plaque at the entrance to the Orleans County Court House. The Hindenburg Line was soon broken, and the Armistice came on November 11, 1918. James Sheret received the Distinguished Service Cross, and General Pershing regarded him as one of the hundred heroes of World War I. James and Egbert are also included in the Aberdeen and District Roll of Honour at the National Library of Scotland. Brothers James, Egbert, Andrew, and John, a Navy aviator, all served in World War I and were among the first Albionites to enlist in the Great War. Their younger siblings Virginia, Donald, and Bernard later served in World War II. John and Anna Sheret of West Park St. had nine children, seven of whom served in the military.
