    • The Late Blaney Cherry, of Preston, Aged 84 Years

      Mr. Blaney Cherry, father of Mr. Samuel Cherry, died at his residence, on Wednesday, Sept. 25th., at 12.30 o'clock, aged eighty-four years and four months, says the Progress. He had been in good health up to within a couple of weeks ago, when he took to his bed, since which time he could take no nourishment and gradually grew weaker until the end. He was a native of Londonderry, Ireland and was married in 1833, coming to Canada, in the following year. After a residence of about nine years, he removed to Dundas, where he ran a flouring mill, until he came to Preston, in 1879. Mr. Cherry never engaged in business in Preston, but with his wife, who died last June, lived in retirement to enjoy a well-earned rest. The deceased was the father of ten children, of whom seven are living. They are Mrs. Woolams, of Brantford; Mrs. Wilson, Rolands, Wyoming; Mrs. D. Burnfield, Ogden, Utah: Mrs. Fallis, London; Samuel Cherry, Preston; John Cherry, Galt and Edward Cherry in Alton. During his illness, he was attended by his daughter, Mrs. Woolams and his sons, Samuel and John, with their families. The funeral took place to St. John's church, on Thursday afternoon and was well attended. The beautiful service of the English church was conducted by Rev. J. Edmonds, who also officiated at the grave. The pall-bearers were Messrs. W. C. Schlueter, John Cutler, W. D. Hepburn, J. D. Webster, Cyrus Erb and David Harris.
