Mary Bell Richards
Notes:

The foregoing (Mary Belle Richards Cherry) information was provided by Samuel Davidson Cherry, Jr., grandson of Mary Belle, and Dr. William Bailey Cherry, nephew of Henry Hardin Cherry. (Please refer to the Captain William Cherry and George Washington Cherry family group charts that follow.) Thomas crittenden Cherry and Henry Hardin Cherry of Western Kentucky University fame, AII~n A. Cherry, and William Bailey Cherry were all brothers. George Washington Cherrys son, William Bailey Cherry, married Cora Belle Gott Oct. 31, 1912. This 88 couple~ .. son, Dr. William Bailey Cherry, is the gentleman named above. There is family connection in a round-about way even through this Cherry line. Esther Gott and Lily Gott were sisters, and Cora Belle Gott was their older half-sister. Esther Gott married Homer Young, brother of Arch Young who married Anna Flora. (See Emanuel R. Flora pages.) Lily Gott married Roy AI~ond. A house that stood at 1214 College Street, Bowling Green, KY, was demolished in October, 1990, to make room for Bowling Greens Public Librarys new parking lot. This house was once occupied by --Cora Belle (Gott) Cherry and her children sometime after her husbands death in 1921. The children are the above named Dr. William Bailey Cherry and his sister, Marion Allen Cherry who was named for their fathers brother., Ailen A .. Cherry who\" died young.. After. Cora Belle Cherry died, Roy and Lily Almond lived there with the children. An effort was made to preserve the house and move it, but several house movers said moving the house would result in more structural damage than could be economically repaired. The Bowling Green-Warren County Arts Commission and the Landmark Association were allowed to salvage what they could from the house before it was torn down.

Notes:

Mary Belle Richards, when she was 16 years old in 1870, went to her older sister, Ann Richards Davidson, in Evansville, Indiana, to go to school. She stayed with the Davidsons several years, and she and her niece, Henrietta Davidson, formed a life-long friendship during that time. Data taken from tombstones, a family Bible kept by Adelia Belle Cherry Ward, numerous letters to Mary Belle Cherry from T. C. Cherry of Bowling Green, and letters to Mary Belle from relatives in England during the late 1800s provided information. Note that the Davidson name still is carried by Mary Belles descendants.
