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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Descendants of Peter Francis Cherry 1 Peter Francis Cherry b: Abt 1 Nov 1814 in Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania d: 23 Feb 1863 in Civil War -- Indianola, Warren Co., Iowa Burial: Linn Grove Cemetery, near Prole, Warren Co., Iowa +Charlotte T.
