XENIA TORCH-LIGHT WEDNESDAY - APRIL 29, 1863 XENIA, OHIO GREENE COUNTY DIED At Vicksburgh, February 5, 1863, of remittant bilious fever, Samuel S. CHERRY in the 23rd year of his age. Also at the same place on the 24th of March of pleuratic fever, John W. CHERRY, in the 24th year of his age. The deceased were sons of William and Martha CHERRY, formerly of Greene County, but recently of Washington, Iowa. At the call of their country, both enlisted in the 25th Iowa Regiment under the command of General SHERMAN. Sometime previous to their enlistment, these two brothers connected themselves with the U.P. Church at Washington. They enlisted under the banner of the cross together, and in the service of their country together, they went down to the grave almost at the same time, and having been exemplary and pious young men, we have good reason to hope that they have together entered thay better world where partings are unknown, and now rest in the joy of the Lord. Debbie I have no connection with this surname, I just found this article and thought it might be of interest to someone on the list. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Thanks Debbie, Its quiet out in Genealogy country. I hope someone connects to these two young Cherry men. My William Cherry is still a bit of a mystery. He was born in 1804 in North Carolina, Lived in Wilkinson County Georgia and was in Houston/Bibb County by the 1830's. In 1842 he married Edna Perrin Heard, daughter of James and Nancy Heard of Barnwell SC and he lived in Houston County until his death in 1863. We know two of his brothers Spencer and Riley also lived in Houston Co, Ga. Does anyone else connect to this family?
