Macon Telegraph, Sunday 11-17-1848
Mr.John M Cherry, one of the most successful farmers of Bibb County,died at his 
home in Rutland on the morning of October 31st.  In the prime of manhood, with 
a circle of friends as large as the range of his acquaintango,the community in 
which he lives has lost a citizen whose sterling qualities made him a man to be 
loved and respected.

He was buried at Liberty church with Masonic ceremonies and one of the largest 
corteges of friends known in the district followed the remains to the last 
resting place.

A number of citizens of Macon attended the funeral, among them George R.Barker, 
Esq., Grand Master of the Macon Lodge, who conducted the ceremonies.

Mr. Cherry leaves a wife and one child, the latter born only twenty-four hours 
before its father's death.  The afflicted family have the sympathy of our 
entire community.
