Never been to Cherryville but heard a lot about it at one time.. Served in the Marine Corps in the 60's with Arthur Sherrill (sp) Baxter from Cherryville who used to refer to it with many stories about growing up, etc. Sounded then like the perfect little town. Maybe I will stop there next time I am out that way.. Very good WEB site..

Hi I grew up all my life in Cherryville, I joined the Navy in 1984 and only get back every year or two. It would be very nice if some of the news from the Eagle could get posted on this web site.

Just writing to say
how your website evoked so many fond memories for me.
I spent many summers with my grandparents Minnie and John Dellinger and
attended East Elementary in first (Mrs. Gold) and fourth grades. I have
so many great memories it would be hard to share them all. One of my
favorites is Randall's store where my brother David and I tried to get
the speckled gumball so we would win money for candy.
I took my husband and daughters there right before it was torn down and
as soon as I walked in they said, "Hey, Carla" just like I was there
the day before instead of twenty some years ago.
Cherryville is my connection to my heritage and many of my dear
family still live there. I feel blessed and treasure my memories.
I am trying to find information on my paternal grandfather Levi Sewell
Murray who was married to Evelyn Irene Dellinger.
If any one has something to share please contact me.
Thank you.

How
much fun reading all about Cherryville. My fondest memories are
of the 7 years my family lived there. I went to school there from
2nd grade through 8th grade. My sister Jane graduated from CHS in
1968. My sister Ann was in the 10th grade when we moved. We
had so much fun there and still visit our friends often. My
friend Robin Beam Cox turns 48 today. We met 40 years ago in
Sunday School at the Methodist Church. My father used to asked if
we would ever stop laughing. We haven't! We had so much
fun. Diane Hovis, Lynn Carpenter, Denise Edwards, Robin Beam, Pat
Blackwood and I. We all had older siblings that wanted nothing to
do with us. We surprised them by hiring a taxi to "circle"
Blackwoods! Years ago when my 17 year old daughter was 10 she had
to write a poem that described me.! One of the things she said
was I was a lover of Cherryville. She knows me well. I have
kept in close contact with some of my childhood friends from
Cherryville. It was the best place to grow up. My father
Dick Malloch passed away Dec. 17, 2002 at the age of 77. He also
loved being a Yankee living in the middle of the South. I
could go on and on but will stop. Please feel free to email me.
I now live in Portland, Oregon.

Hello, I just found this site and think it's great.
I can't believe it has been 28 years since my family and I left
Cherryville.
I often tell my children and friends about the summers of '64 and '65
about the bands on top of Blackwoods.....
about the fights at the Shakeshop.......about Mozelle's house (anyone
who was there will understand).
They all think I'm lying, but they listen anyway........
I would love to hear from anyone from that era.....Please feel free to
e-mail

Hello All who knew my dad.....James
William Aderholdt, son of Allen and Ava Lee,my grandparents who used to
live on Second street...
Sadly, dad passed away on July 27,2001....He used to take me and my
brother to my grandma's in Cherryville.
It was some of the best times of our lives, running and playing in the
hot summer days there.
My memories of Cherryville are all good.....hide and seek with my
cousins, Jeff Aderholdt, and the Beam brothers, Curtis,David, and
Allen,(AKA A.B.)...
I always was in good spirits when I was in your town.
Laying pennies on the railroad tracks....shooting the "forbidden"
fireworks in the street, and later, going on New Years to the
"Shoots"......
Throwing dirt clods as grenades in our many ARMY battles.
Things brought to mind so many years later, some too little, some too
late.
I am always reminded of Cherryville, and my times there as a young
buck, whenever I see the movie "Stand by Me".
I keep a copy of that movie wherever I go....and always, always,
remember Cherryville..........
THANKS, DAD....Dale L. Aderholdt

Wow! Great work on the website!
It has been fun checking out the facts and news

through your "reader comments" section.
Thanks for helping current and former "Cherryville-ians"
keep up with their hometown!

Hello All!
I am Sherry Lynne Bundy from Greensboro, NC.
My step-grandmother is Elizabeth Marshall de Mauney Blythe from
Cherryville, NC.
She was married to my grandfather, Dennis Calvin Blythe aka "D C" or
"Butch" (he was a butcher),
in 1957.
They resided in Hendersonville, NC until my grandfather's passing in
the spring of 1989. She moved back to Cherryville, NC with her sisters
on
E. Academy St and has since passed on herself.
Her sisters still live there.
Elizabeth Marshall de Mauney was a young opera singer whose career
halted
for a time and wrote songs for others. She composed the melody for the
song
written by Robert Mellin "Falling" on RCA records for the Fontaine
sisters
in 1953.
Among other records, she collaborated with Sam Stept, VP of Songwriters
Protective Association entitled "Sing Me A Song of the Isles" Released
in 1953/54.
She at one time had a contract with Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI)
Most of her compositions were played by symphony orchestras and in
operas.
She was the organist for Grace Lutheran Church in Hendersonville.
She played in a concert which won her acclaim for "Lakeside Reverie" in
the Alma Conservatory of Music in London, Ontario, Canada.
My mother says that on several occasions she presented music to Kate
Smith.
She had submitted a tune that was running against selection of the song
"God Bless America".
Her professional name was E de Mauney.
She taught voice, music and piano for years.
I remember sitting at her grand piano in her studio room and wishing
someday I would
have just a small bit
of her talent.
If you would like to share information, please feel free to write.
I would
love to hear from you!

I've really enjoyed browsing your web sight.
I wish now we had driven on to tour your little town,
it reads like a story book.
We were visiting Larry Hullender's brother and sister, Bob and Louise, and were trying to gather names of ancestors.
Bob took us to the Hullender Cemetery where we took pictures and wrote down some of the markers that were hard to read.
Bob said that their grandfather, Fletcher Hullender lived in a farmhouse on Goforth road before the Cemetery,
either as a child or as an adult.
Would be very appreciative for any information regarding Fletcher Hullender or his parents, names unknown.
The next visit we make to Kings Mtn. we definitly want to enjoy a look at Cherryville.
Thank you. Pat Hullendar

I was just browsing the internet and trying to keep up with my hometown news
when I came across your website.
Thanks. It's great to know that Cherryville has it's own website.
I grew up in Cherryville and graduated in 1979. I try to get back that way when I can.
I have lived in Columbia, SC since 1988, but I really miss Cherryville.
I was just there in October, 2000 for my 20 year high school reunion.
We had the Class of '78, '79, and '80 all together. It was great!
Hope all is well in Cherryville!!
Date: April 20, 2000 Hello from the San Bernardino Mountains of California, Cherryville just lost one of the finest citizens ever. Annie J. Black passed away on April 12, 2000. She was the great grandmother of my children Josh and Jessy Mauney. I used to visit her every chance I got. She loved Cherryville. Thank you for this wonderful website. It brings back the nicest memories of a number one town. Fondly, Amy McLaughlin

Date: March 7, 2000 It is great to hear from people who graduated from CHS in 1979! Cherryville folks are the best in the world. Would love to hear from any of you! Fritzi Self
Date: February 27, 2000 To Whom It May Concern I'm totally impressed by your website. You've made me want to come explore the wonderful city of Cherryville. I've heard of a wonderful restaurant named Home Folks Cafe; could you please include a picture of an employee named Jane Hancock. It would make me so tickled if I could get some brochures or any other literature you could offer about your wonderful town. Thank you! Evan Clapsaddle

Date: February 24, 2000 What a joy it was for me to find the Cherryville website! I really enjoyed spending a few hours looking around at everything. Of special interest were the photos from 1968, the year I graduated from Cherryville Senior High. My brother Roy owns and operates Homefolks Cafe, my brother Jr. is a mechanic, and sister Terry lives in Cherryville, along with many of my nephews and nieces. I have been a resident of Rapid City, SD since 1976, and currently work at Western Dakota Technical Institute as the Placement Coordinator. Visiting the website has made me homesick to visit Cherryville again. A lot of memories center around the old theater, Howell Mill, and numerous people I knew there. I would be greatly interested in hearing from anyone who graduated in 1968. I can be reached via email at dblail@wdti.tec.sd.us. or by phone at 800-544-8765. Keep up the good work and I will look forward to periodically visiting the web site again. Bruce Lail
