In 1881, when she was 18 years of age, the family moved to Churdan, Iowa, where Mary Alice was united in holy marriage to John F. Wherry on April 14th, 1888. This newly wedded couple established their first home in Kingman county, Kansas, where they lived for ten years. They then moved to Jones county, Iowa, where they lived for one year. From this place they came to Story county, Iowa, where they bought land, and have made their home since 1899. To this union two children were born: Bertha Thomas, of Near Fernald and L. J.

Wherry, the grandchildren, Ivadell and Evadene Thomas and Johnnie Wherry, a sister living in Stockton, California, and a brother in Tacoma, Washington, also a niece, Mrs. Adolph Peterson, of Ft. Dodge, Iowa. Mrs. Wherry was a woman of many outstanding qualities. She was quiet and retiring, possessing that humility of which Jesus spoke and often commended. She was a sincere Christian woman, devoted to her church, her home and all things having issue in Christ, her Lord. She was member of St. Paul's Lutheran church, of Fernald and unless prevented by illness was always in her place when the hour of worship came. Now God had called her home and her work is ended, but her works do follow her. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." Vocal music by Mrs. V. L. Proctor and Mrs. Harold Handsaker with Mrs. C. F.
