Long Illness Fatal To Mrs. John Cherny Mrs. John Cherny, for fifty-seven years a resident of North Bend, died at her home Monday morning at five o'clock. Mrs. Cherny had been in ill health for several years, suffering with diabetes. She had been confined to her bed most of the time for a little over a year. Her age at death was seventy-six years, five months and twenty-nine days. Mrs. Cherny was a devoted wife and mother. She loved the realm of home best and it was there that her interests centered. She was a kindly and gracious neighbor and friend to all and a most hospitable hostess. She was identified with the Degree of Honor and Rebekah lodges in her earlier years having been a charter member of each. She held membership in the ZCBJ lodge at Morse Bluff. On April 27, 1936, Mr. and Mrs. Cherny celebrated their golden wedding.
