age.
DIR. Cherrington, while soldier
in the service of the u. S. army,
received a gun shot wound through
the angles of the lower jaws, frac-
turing bones of both sides, resulting
in complete anchylosis of the lower
jaw bones, which ever afterward
rendered him unable to masticate

indigestion, liverand kidney diseas-

or mondays brightness, until at last,

health began to let down and he
was no longer able TO continue in
the active pursuit of his profession.
Some eighteen or twenty months
ago he received an appointment on
the Board of Pension Examining

month or two, when his health
became so much impaired that he
was no longer able TO continue at
his pest and was compelled TO
abandon that. DR.. Cherrington has
held many positions of trust and
honor in our county, was firm in
his convictions as a Republican, was
active and influential and held in
high repute and enjoyed tho esteem
and confidence of his party.
He was member of the order OF
A. f. x Accepted Masons as well
also of the G. A r.
