Cherrie, Albert S., for years manager of the I. N. R. Beatty Lumber Company of 
Mazon, is one of the leading young business men of Grundy County whose rise 
has been rapid, but steady.  His success has come through his application and 
sound principles, and he deserves his prosperity for he has fairly earned it.  
Mr. Cherrie was born in 1887, on the farm owned by his father in Braceville 
Township.  His parents, William and Isabella (Stevenson) Cherrie, were born in 
Scotland, but came to the United States in 1845, and first lived at Braidwood, 
Ill., where the father worked in the mines.  Later they moved to Grundy 
County, becoming farmers and he is still living on his property, but the 
mother died in 1906.  These parents had ten children:  Mary Brown; Margaret 
Brown; Thomas, who is deceased; James; Allen; William, Jr.; John, who is 
deceased; John (II); Isabel Davidson; and Albert.

Albert S. Cherrie remained at home assisting his father in conducting his 140-
acre farm, and attending the schools of his district, until he was twenty 
years old.  At that time he went to Joliet, Ill., but after working there for 
a time took a course in Brown's Business College at Ottawa, Ill., following 
which he entered business life.  He is a Mason, belonging to Wilmington 
Chapter No. 142, R. A. M. and to the Knights of Pythias of Braidwood, Ill.  
The Presbyterian church holds his membership and profits from his generosity.  
In politics he is a Republican, but as yet his inclinations have not led him 
to adopt a public career.
