The Latham family of Alamogordo, NM., received news Saturday of the death of their sister, Mrs. J. H. Cherry which happened at Santa Anna, Coleman Co., Tx., July 1, 1927.
Again the grim reaper of death has visited our family removing a beloved sister, Mrs. Nancy Annie Cherry. She was born near Vienna in Maries Co., Missouri, January16, 1861.
She came the same year to Texas, with her parents, the late Mr. & Mrs. G.W.A. Latham and her eldest brother J. V. Latham. She was married Feb. 6, 1878 to Mr. J. H. Cherry in Llano County, Tx. She united with the Baptist Church in 1881. Her funeral was completed by Rev. Sidney F. Martin, Baptist pastor of Santa Anna, Tx., July 2, 1927, where her body was laid to rest to await a glorious resurrection.
She has been a patient sufferer for more than 20 years, but the love of God which was in her heart and the realization of the fact that when the end comes the dust shall return to dust and the spirit shall return to God, who gave it, gave her courage.
She was reared during the pioneer days of Texas when the stealthy marauding Comanche Indians often attacked the settlers and murdered them in their atrocious manner, she kept vigilant watch over her younger brothers and sisters. On one occasion when her grandfather was coming to our home very sick shouting and moaning the children thought the Indians were killing him, this sister fled from the house with her youngest brother and sister, ran down a steep hill and across the creek and up the bank on the opposite side and threw the children over into a field of tall weeds where she thought it would be refuge of safety from the Indians.
On another occasion when one of our uncles and our father were shooting at the Indians who were trying to steal their horse, this sister and her brother, J. V., stood on the porch and counted the Indians as they went away in the moonlight.
She leaves a husband and six children in Texas and has three brothers and three sisters to mourn her death: B. F. Latham, of Camp Crook SD., Mrs G.G. Hardin of Bertram, Tx., Mrs. A. J. Perett of Denver, Colo., and J. V. & J. Y. Latham and the writer, her sister, Rina Latham.
