Can some one please tell me more. In Shamokin I am told there is suppose to be a Luke's Fidlers colliery. Does any one know is this old cemetery still visible and how do I find it? The "Cherry family" were the first settlers in the Shamokin area, He cleared off a farm at Luke Fidler, . Shamokin's first burial plot was located there. The erosions of time have obliterated grave markers; however, a low concrete wall surrounding the original enclosure is still visible. This may still be seen and is located adjacent to Route 61 on the south side. Cherry's sons or relatives also settled here. Joseph Cherry settled on the plot near where the F&S Brewery stands. By the division of the Clark tract in 1803, John Cherry was assigned the lower western portion. Prior to the war of 1812, Abraham Cherry built a saw mill on Shamokin Creek opposite the Cameron Colliery. Another member of the family had a distillery on a hill east of Shamokin. . Thank you Jeanie
