THE CHERRY FAMILY OF
MACON COUNTY
By Frieda Cherry
Mitler
"Many of WYATT CHERRY's children did
not marry. One married son moved to Sand Point, Idaho, where two children were born, but no
grandchildren. THOMAS CHERRY pioneered to Nebraska where he married MARY FRANCIS
SINNARD OF Christian Co., ID., and then homesteaded in northeast Wisconsin in 1904. They
were parents of six children and many of their descendants still live in and around Portersfield
and Marrinete. WI. Several of WYATT's sons helped to build the Union Pacific R.R and were at
Promontory Point, Utah when the final "Golden Spike" was driven. JAMES HALL CHERRY,
WYATT's youngest son, remained at home.
