SHERRY/CIHLAR/NOREN  My Grandpa, John William SHERRY was born somewhere in MN around 1887. All we know about his parents is his Mother's maiden name was CIHLAR. She died at age 30. (unknown reason) Her husband died at age 42 from crushed ribs. Perhaps he was a logger? They had 4 SHERRY children; John William, George, Ann and Elinore. Ann & Elinore did reside in St. Paul around 1920 - 1928 after which they moved on to WA state. John SHERRY married my Grandma, Lavon (Lavina) NOREN from Wright Cty. He was a banker in North Dakota.
