General Notes: Husband - William P. Cherry

---

He was reared on the farm, receiving a meager subscription-school education, but by close application became an expert mathematician - he was several times offered the chair as professor of mathematics, but would not accept it, preferring to remain on the old farm. He was actively interested in politics.
