Friday, 23 Oct. 1925, Vol 39 No. 26, pg. 1, col 6--W. L. Cherrington Dies--W. L. (Bud) Cherrington died last Wednesday, Oct. 15, 1925, at his home south of this city. Mr. Cherrington had been ill with lung trouble for some time, but it was not thought that his condition was very serious up until a short time prior to his death. Deceased was born Sept. 5, 1866. He was married September 9, 1888 to Miss Fannie Clickner. To their union nine children were born, and the mother, five daughters and two sons survive the husband and father. Mr. Cherrington was well known throughout this section, having operated a threshing machine for several years, and come in contact in a business way with many people. He was honest, upright and industrious, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was a member of the Methodist church and the Macabee Lodge in which he had $2,000 insurance. The funeral was preached at Washington Church Friday by Rev. J. M. Major, and burial was at the city cemetery, Fayette, Mo.--Armstrong Herald. Deceased was a brother of Mrs. T. J. Cooper of this place. Began doing some Cooper research and may have found the maiden name for Thomas J. Cooper's wife, Anne, in this obit. My reason for researching this family is regarding my great aunt Mary Sue Dougherty Cooper Clark's first husband, Ferd Cooper. Fernando "Ferd" Cooper is a son of Thomas J. Cooper. This family was originally from Boonslick Twp. in Howard County. Moved to Fayette and then to Higbee. Thomas J. Cooper (1862-1943) was the son of John A. Cooper (1833-1871) and Arminta ?Chandler (1833-1887). John A. was the son of Sarshell Cooper (1805-1879) and Elizabeth C. Leakey (1818-1888). Sarshell was the son of Col. Benjamin Cooper (1775-?) and Anne Fullerton (1775-?). Teri C.
