Are you referring to a town in Red River County called Sherman or the Sherman in Grayson County (I think that is the county).

It's in Grayson CO. at FM 56 and 1417 west of Sherman. 3 of the 4 buildings are still standing and part of the 4th. I have been to told that some of the boy that all family members were not living or couldn't care for them at all went to the Boys School/home in Mesquite TX.
