Mrs. Elizabeth McC. Cherry.

  Following a lengthy illness, Mrs. Elizabeth McCauley Cherry, wife of 
Patrolman A. A. Cherry, of 212 Howard avenue, Altoona, and daughter of 
John and Mary McCauley, deceased, died at her home Tuesday night at 
10.15 o'clock.  She was one of the best known and most highly esteemd 
residents of the Seventh ward.
  Mrs. Cherry was born in Antis township on January 27, 1853, about one 
and a half miles west of Bellwood.  She was united in marriage to A. A. 
Cherry on April 27, 1871, by the Rev. J. H. Mathers, D.D., now 
deceased, of Bellwood.  After spending the first eleven years of their 
wedded life on the Cherry farm near Bellwood, Mr. and Mrs. Cherry took 
up their residence in Altoona thirty-three years ago.  They located in 
the Seventh ward, where they have since resided.
  When quite young, Mrs. Cherry became a member of the Lutheran church, 
and was a faithful and consistent member and worker for that 
denomination throughout her entire life.  She was a member of the 
Fourth Lutheran church of Altoona, and was a Christian woman, 
possessing a beautiful character, exemplified in both words and deeds 
of kindness.  She will be sadly missed in the community.
  Mrs. Cherry is survived by her husband and these brothers and 
sisters: John McCauley, of Tyrone; Martin McCauley, of Derry; Harry, of 
Altoona; Mrs. Edith Weaver, of Altoona and Mrs. John Cherry, of Tipton, 
and Mrs. Ruth Cherry of Bellwood, the latter two being half-sisters.
