James M Cherry was born in Eldorado Springs, Missouri, and died at the home of his son, Albert Cherry, on Leyda Avenue at 12:35 Friday, July 27th. Mr Cherry would have been 83 years of age at the 8th of August.
Mr Cherry came to Howell County with his parents, Mr and Mrs George W Cherry, in 1886 and they settled on a farm at South Fork.
He was married to Alice Black November 25th, 1896, and they made their home at South Fork until 1918, when they moved to West Plains, where Mr Cherry engaged in the livery stable business on Cleveland Avenue until about eight years ago, when the building was destroyed by fire.
Mr Cherry was helped in the business by his sons, Albert and Frank. They did not rent horses, but took care of horses and rigs that came to town. There were times when they would have a hundred horses in the barn at one time. The price for looking after a horse was five cents and for feeding the horse up to $1.25, depending on the kind of feed that the customer wanted fed. After horses were no longer used, Mr Cherry operated the place as a feed and hay concern. He was an early riser and most of the time got up at 4:00 in the morning to look after his customers.

He was a freighter from Fort Levenworth, Kansas to all the government posts, including those in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, during the time the Indians were troublesome, and he had many skirmishes with them.
George Cherry was a friend of Jim Bridger and Brigham Young, He moved to Howell County in 1886 and stayed here until November 1912. He was the father of thriteen children by his first wife, two by his second wife, and none by his third and last wife.
