NOAH CHERRY.
Noah Cherry, the well known proprietor of the Cherry Hotel
at Canal Winchester, was born on the 15th of June, 1857.
His father, Andrew Cherry, whose birth occurred in Pennsylvania,
May 13, 1820, was married on the 18th of April, 1839, to Miss Sarah
Miller, who was born in Adelphi, Ohio, September 9, 1817. At
the time of his marriage, being then only nineteen years of age, he purchased
one hundred and sixty acres of wild land in Ross county, Ohio, and with
resolute spirit and a determination to succeed, the young couple established
their home in the undeveloped and unsettled region. Andrew Cherry
cleared his one hundred and sixty acre tract unaided and in due course
of time was rewarded by annual harvests of golden grain. He also
erected his first log cabin and made his home on the place until 1863,
when he disposed of the property and in 1873 purchased what was known as
the Job Zeigler farm, comprising one hundred and sixty-six acres
in Fairfield county. There he resided until 1899 when he retired
from the active work of the fields and took up his abode in Waterloo.
In his farming operations he met with a gratifying and well merited measure
of success and was widely recognized as a model exponent of agricultural
interests. He won many prizes for the excellent quality of his corn
and wheat and also raised high grade cattle, hogs and horses, always having
a fine specimen of the noble steed for sale. His demise, which occurred
in 1903, was the occasion |
p. 651 |
of deep and widespread regret. In politics
he was a sturdy democrat, while his religious belief was indicated by his
membership in the Lutheran church, in the faith of which he reared his
family. For more than a quarter of a century he had survivd his wife,
who was called to her final rest in 1877. Mr. Miller, the
father of Mrs. Cherry, was also numbered among the pioneer settlers
and was noted as a successful hunter and trapper of the early days.
His wife, a typical pioneer woman, was adept in the art of spinning and
weaving and made various garments for the members of the household.
The record of the children of Andrew and Sarah (Miller) Cherry is
as follows: George, born January 31, 1842; Mrs. Margaret
Dixon, whose birth occurred September 15, 1844; Mrs. Catherine Miller,
who was born February 13, 1848; Mrs. Area Gley, born October 11,
1849; Mrs. Mary Knepper, born May 14, 1851; Mrs. Harriet Sailor,
born October 15, 1854; Noah, of this review; and Alfred,
who was born October 10, 1860.
At the early age of ten years Noah Cherry assisted in the
operation of the home farm, performing as much work as a man, and up to
the time he was twenty-one years of age he gave his father the benefit
of his services, receiving no recompence save his board and clothes.
He was married at the age of twenty years, eleven and a half months but
remained with his father until he had fully attained his majority, when
he rented a tract of land and sowed it to wheat, from the sale of which
he receivd his first cash capital. Purchasing a team and farm implements,
he rented a piece of land for two years and on the expiration of that period
disposed of his entire possessions and removed to Shelby county, Illinois.
He there rented some property and bought a complete line of farm implements
but at the end of eighteen months his wife was taken ill and he was compelled
to return to Ohio, where he operated his father's farm for six years.
Subsequently he bought a farm of eighty acres [???] after residing thereon
for three years he sold the property and in 1803 purchased the Cherry Hotel
at Canal Winchester, which he has since owned. It is a model hostlery
and Mr. Cherry also conducts a fine livery stable in connection
therewith. Save for the assistance of his estimable wife, he has
gained his success entirely through his own unremitting labor and unflagging
diligence. Though but eighteen years of age at the time of her marriage
Mrs. Cherry at once proved herself a capable and efficient helpmate.
A number of men were employed on the construction of a railroad in the
vicinity of her home and she took upon herself the task of boarding nineteen
of them for four weeks. They fitted up an outbuilding for lodging
purposes and she provided their meals and did all other necessary work.
She now manages the Cherry Hotel -- a line of activity for which she is
clearly adapted, being a cheerfal and untiring worker and one who finds
pleasure in providing for the comfort of her guests. Mr. Cherry
gives his attantion principally to the livery business and the buying and
selling of horses and is the owner of a very fine German coach horse which
was imported direct from Germany.
On the 19th of May, 1878, Mr. Cherry was united in marriage
to Miss Hannah M. Washburn, whose birth occurred August 27, 1860.
Her father, William Washburn, who was a ship builder by occupation,
passed away when |
p. 652 |
she was but three years of age. Unto our
subject and his wife have been born three children: Nellie I.,
whose birth occurred at Canal Winchester, January 21, 1879, became the
wife of Otis Haynes on the 14th of October, 1896. She now
has two childen, namely: Fay M., born July 10, 1902; and Carmen
Evelyn, born December 15, 1906. Ralph A. Cherry was born
in Shelby county, Illinois, April 14, l882, and on the 19th of September,
1900, wedded Miss Rachel R. Woolshire, by whom he has two children:
Francis O'Neal, born April 30, l902; and Bernice E., born
January 16, 1907. Henry Frank Cherry is a native of Fairfield county,
Ohio, his birth there occurring on the 29th of January, 1894. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Noah Cherry have a host of friends and acquaintances throughout
the community and are widely recognized as substantial upright and respected
people. |
