CANADIAN CHERRYs - I can offer you only very limited help since I am just beginning research on the CHERRY (in-law) side of the family. My wife's people come from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Her parents were Raymond Paul CHERRY and Mary Teresa Margaret FOLEY. Both parents are deceased and buried in Montreal, PQ.
Her grandparents were James Delahanty CHERRY m. Lillian Gertrude MEEHAN (b 25 Aug 1883 d 16 Aug 1971); and, William Alfred FOLEY m. Dorothy Ethel MOORE. Birth, marriage and death all occurred in Montreal, PQ.
The anecdotal information I have indicates that the Canadian Cherrys had relations in the northeastern US states who owned an insurance company in the family name. The family on both parental-in-laws' sides was quite large, 10-12 siblings for each.
I will add your e-mail address to my contact list in case I find anything of interest to your query.
I hope you or any other reader will let me know of any information you may have on the Canadian Cherrys. Thanks

Bullitt - Nelson County: Kentucky USA
A Christmas Tragedy
51 Die In The Shepherdsville Train Wreck of December 1917
Submitted by: Gertrude V. Morris
ATHS MEMBER 1077
EMAIL ADDRESS: GMORRISV(a)aol.com
The headlines shouted, 47 Die in Fatal Crash When Fast Mail Train Crashes Into Springfield Accomodation! Supplimental headlines stated, Local Train Heavily Laden With Bardstown People Who Were Returning From Louisville – All Killed Or Seriously Injured.
These were the tragic headlines of the Kentucky Standard of December 24, 1917. No issue of The Standard in its 60 years has been filled with news of so much tragedy.
Recently, another chapter was written.
The "woman with the brilliant red hair" died at the age of 92 – her heroic role in the tragic train wreck at Shepherdsville all but forgotten.
Miss Margaret Woods of Lexington, a trained nurse, was aboard a Louisville & Nashville Railroad’s Cincinnati – to – New Orleans flyer December 20, 1917.
A second passenger train was parked in the heart of Shepherdsville, preparing to switch off the main track to allow the flyer to pass.
At 5 p.m. the flyer whistled toward town. Its engineer spotted the local, but he was going too fast to stop.
The woman who worked all night aiding the injured and dying was described in newspaper accounts only as "the woman with the brilliant red hair." She was not identified as Margaret Woods until several days later.
"Smiles were changed to tears, and laughter gave way to sobs when the news was received here that the Springfield Accomodation train had been wrecked at Shepherdsville and that every Bardstown person on the train had either been killed or dangerously injured." That was the way the lead story in the Standard of December 24, 1917 read.
The accommodation was loaded with Bardstown people who had spent the day in Louisville doing their Christmas shopping.
19 Bodies Brought Home
Family after family was struck with tragedy – county office holders, business and professional men and their wives. Fathers, mothers and children were tragic victims.
Private sorrow turned into public grief when a special train arrived at Bardstown the night after the wreck bringing "our dead." The bodies of 19 persons were unloaded.
It was nearly midnight the night before when the last of the mangled bodies was taken from the two coaches, some beyond recognition. The injured were moved either to Louisville hospitals or to homes in Shepherdsville, where some of them died.
Fortunately, all Shepherdsville passengers had already gotten off the train. Otherwise the wreck’s toll would have been much greater.
The Baptist Church at Shepherdsville was turned into a morgue where relatives came in their distress seeking to identify bodies.
The Bardstown accommodation No. 41 was due at Shepherdsville at 5:19 p.m. Thursday December 17. It was six minutes late arriving. The order to take the siding so the fast train could pass was being carried out. The accommodation pulled up to the head of the switch, 200 feet beyond the depot, and was preparing to back in when No. 7, two hours late (due at Shepherdsville at 3:30 o’clock) plowed into it and split it wide open.
The two rear coaches of the accommodation were crumbled like cheese leaving a twisted mass of twisted steel and wooden splinters.
The Dead:
1 - Nat W. Muir, 65 years old; Bardstown banker, president of Wilson & Muir bankers.
2 - Mrs. Nat W. Muir, 50 years old.
3 - George S. Muir, 16 years old, their son.

22 - Miss Maggie Mae Overall,30 years of age, of Cox’s Creek, Ky.

25 - Lawrence Greenwell, 40 years of age, of New Haven, flagman on Local No. 41.

Miss Natalie Halstead of Bardstown
Miss Ella Philips, daughter of Mr. And Mrs. John Phillips (deceased, see above)
J.E. Smith of Bardstown, Ky.
Harry Samuels of Samuels, Ky.
ATHS Note: The newspaper article above appears to be from a Bardstown newspaper published about 1960. It focuses on the Nelson County deaths. The only Margaret Woods, aged 92 listed in the Kentucky Death Index was:
Margaret Woods, 92, who died on February 29, 1960 in Fayette, County, Kentucky.
The article was not credited as to author. According to the last item in the article Lee Roby, one of the injured, was then employed at Flaget Hospital at the time of its publication.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excerpt: Bullitt Circuit Court.
Honorable D.A. McCandless,
Judge Tenth, Judicial District.
The Grand Jury of Bullitt county, Kentucky, after being in session five days for the special purpose of investigating and inquiring into the cause of the collision of two passenger trains on the Louisville & Nashville railroad inside the corporate limits of Shepherdsville, Dec 20, 1917, where by forty-eight passengers were killed and as many seriously injured, desire to make the following report:
We have examined about thirty-five witnesses and according to their testimony find that the wreck was caused and brought about by a failure on the part of many of the officers, agents and employees of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company, to promulgate such rules and perform such service in the operation of the trains of said company as would make them safe to the traveling public.
ATHS Note: the railroad was also cited for using, "old styled wooden passenger coaches and pulled by an engine of the old type." And declared them unsafe when used on a trunk line where many modern trains of steel coaches pulled by the largest and heaviest type passenger engines are operated at a rapid and dangerous speed. "Therefore use of such old wooden passenger coaches and old type engines should not be tolerated by the public."
I am a descendant of this James Cherry through his son Jesse. I also have
Yarnall ancestors. When was Philip Cherry born? Who did he marry? Who is
the father of Jesse Yarnall, father in law of Philip Cherry?

Start by looking into the right hand corner in the "search all ancestry databases" for "cherry " records.. Somewear in their you will find plenty of cherrys that came from england, ireland etc to virginia and to the new england states and branched out from their.Its amasing what you will find given enough time and sometimes it is easier to trace from the beginning to the end of the trail.I did both in order to find the middle of my ancesters.

Hi Kathy: I don't know much about my Joseph CHERRY either. He had to have had parents and siblings somewhere! He was born abt 1817 but married in Madison Co., Illinois in 1841 then migrated to Wisconsin where he died in 1874. I have his descendants but just can't find his parents anywhere OR connect him to any other CHERRY line "out there". Oddly enough I also have a SMITH line that started I don't know where in Virginia; he married into the KILLION line in Sangamon Co., Illinois and wound up in the same small town in Wisconsin! Both Joseph CHERRY and Davidson SMITH are buried at Mifflin Cemetery, Mifflin, Iowa Co., Wisconsin. Thanks for the reply. cherrytree(a)uneedspeed.net
Hi, I am researching my Cherry line also. Could you please give me the site
where I can find your information on the Cherry line. I have been hitting a
brick wall and thought I'd look and see if your Cherry line which is in your
James' line might be connected somehow to mine. (I tried going to the James
surname and seeing if I could find your message but there are almost 6,000
messages to look through so thought it might be easier this way).
Thanks for whatever help you might could give.

If you spend the time going into the past posts for a year or so you will start finding a wealth of information on the cherrys.It takes time but in some cases its worth it .
