This photo shows the grave of John Merryfield in Cherry Cemetery.
The town of Cherry is located on Highway 372, and was established in 1886 near Cherry Creek. A former mining town, Cherry had a population of 400 people at its peak. As mining ended in the 1930s, citizens left the community and Cherry's Post Office was discontinued on March 15, 1943. Today, Cherry is a small retirement community, with no stores or other facilities except a fire station.
Cherry Cemetery was originally called Cherry Creek Cemetery and was established as a burial ground for the Allen pioneer family. Later, it became the cemetery for the town, and it is still in use. Marked graves date back to the early 20th century.
