Coordinate	:	39.3333015, -83.5477982
Description	:	DISCREPANCY re exact date of death: The McBrides' cemetery book, 1972 edition, p. 118, says Martha died "13 of 6mo 1861 at age 68-2-16." That's probably from a reading of the tombstone. On the other hands, thanks to F.A.G. contributor Lois Martin McDonald, we have an image of a listing from a Quaker publication showing a date of death of "6mo. 14 1861." Given the discrepancy, the most prudent course is to omit the exact date on this memorial, pending additional evidence that might tell us which of the two dates is more likely to...

Wife of Richard Cherry. "She early evinced an attachment to the religious principles of Friends, and was zealous in attending meeting, having been heard to say that it was a source of the greatest real enjoyment to her, to sit in a meeting for divine worship. She was a useful member, and filled the responsible station of elder for many years. "Much bodily suffering was her portion through the greater part of her life, yet she went calmly and uncomplainingly onward in the path of duty, showing that her walk was closely with her Saviour. "Her last illness was lingering, yet she was favored with her Saviour's legacy--His peace, which took away the sting of death. She had done her work in the daytime, and now that the night was approaching, she patiently awaited the call of her Lord. "She imparted much counsel to her children, and was often heard in supplication for them, as well as for herself." —The American Annual Monitor for 1862; or Obituary of the Members of the Society of Friends in America, for the Year 1861, published New York: William Wood, 1862, Vol. 5, pp. 22-23.
