From the 1915 Lake County, Ohio Atlas

CHERRY FARM is owned by Peter H. Peterson, Post Office Perry, Ohio, three miles 
distant. It contains 26.23 acres in Perry and 36.90 acres in Madison Township. 
The location is on Middle Ridge Rd., Perry being its nearest market. The name is
derived from a grove of cherry trees on the place. Dairying and fruit are the 
principal industries. The dairy contains 15 head of registered Guernsey's, and 
the daily product is 37 gallons of milk and five gallons of pure cream. The 
water supply is obtained from well, pumped by gasoline engine and the supply is 
bountiful. The building improvements are modern in all respects, barns being 
furnished with cement floors and maintained at all times in a sanitary 
condition. A natural gas well is located on the farm and the residence and other
building are lighted by this natural gas. The farm's surface is level and the 
soil a clay and gravely loam. Mr. Peterson purchased a part of this farm from 
George Hanshaw in 1890, the remaining being purchased at a later date. He is one 
of the progressive farmers of this section and his farm is in the front rank of 
many good farms of this county. Mr. Peterson married Mary Peterson, March 21, 
1883, and their family consists of 13 children, 10 of whom are living.
