OBITUARY
Mrs. Cherry, wife of Peter Cherry, deceased, died in Norwalk, February 11, 1907 of old age. She was eighty-nine years old.
We are unable to give to State of her nativity and date of marriage, but have known her only since her coming to Warren Co, fifty years ago where she had made her home almost continuously. She was the mother of 14 children, 4 of whom with her husband, she gave to battle for her country early in the War of the Rebellion, 3 of whom besides her husband, sacrificed their lives before the ending of that tearful conflict.
She was thus bereft in middle life with a young and growing family whom she reared to manhood and womanhood until they were able to care for themselves, since which time she has made her home with her children.
The last time we conversed with her, not long ago, as we looked into her furrowed face, made so by time, labor and trouble, yet she was joyous and happy intimating that her race was nearly run that she was prepared and ready for the summons to call her home.
Thus peaceful, painless and happy, a good, old Mother in Israel has passed away.
After funeral services in Norwalk, her remains were laid away in the Linn Grove Cemetery by the side of those of her husband.

Valerie,
I've not talked to you for a while because I have been researching some of my husband's relatives. We don't know to much about them and they were a quiet lot, so I've had some fun with that, but now I am back researching my great grandmother Annie Childers.
This is where the surprise comes in. I went to the Warren County Historical museum a couple of weeks ago and I found the listing for a marriage license for A M Cherry and Annie Childers (1978). The lady in charge, Mrs. Perhson, told me that if it was listed in the book, they would have a copy of the license at the Admin Building up town, and if I smiled nicely and gave them $2.00 they would give me a copy of it. Well, yesterday I went back to Indianola and looked up their license (hoping to find some info on Annie). When I found it, you won't believe what was pasted on the document. A note from Charlotte Cherry in her own handwriting stating that it was OK for Arthur to have a marriage license. That was so cool, I have a copy and would like to add it to the tree for everyone to see, but don't know how.
Another puzzle I have is that she signed the note "Charlotte Cherry", and I found Charlotte Cherry in the 1880 census living with Wesley Cherry in Warren County so.... what happened to the Daggett marriage that was in 1867? Maybe that wasn't our Charlotte Cherry. She also mentions being born in Ohio, but doesn't list a birthplace for her father and I can't read the one for her mother. It is something that looks like it starts with a J.........y. So she is still a mystery to me.
Well, must go. I need to continue my hunt for Annie.
