CHERRY COUNTY CLUB

The Cherry County Club held a meeting in
July of 1928, for the purpose of organizing a
Historical Club. It was thought up by Prof.
Wilson, and agreed upon by all the members,
to be a "worthwhile club". The purpose of the
club was to get all the available material of
pioneer days from the old settlers of Cherry
County. Some of the material would be
gleaned through interviews with the old
settlers, some could possibly be written up by
the pioneers themselves. Quote "It will be
stimulating work for the teachers, a pleasure
to the old settlers and a saving of a great deal
of historical data which would otherwise be
lost. Many of the seemingly unimportant
events should be chronicled. They are of a
great importance to the coming generation.
If it is not gotten now, in a few years much
of this data will have gone out of existence."
