General Notes: Husband - John N. Wherry

---

He attended the country schools more or less regularly up to the age of twenty years, after which he spent two years on the home farm and then learned the tanning business. He carried on tanning for some fifteen years and for fourteen years operated a threshing machine, after which he became a traveling merchandise dealer and for some time made trips as far as Pittsburgh, with his wagon and team of four horses, buying and selling all kinds of merchandise. Mr. Wherry then settled on a farm, a fine property near South Bend, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and occupied a handsome brick residence on the main road between South Bend and Apollo. Politically he was a Democrat and was influential in his party, served as school director and tax collector, and was his party's chosen candidate for county commissioner. Mr. Wherry was president of the South Bend Fire Insurance Company, a mutual organization which was in successful operation for many years.
