Mary Emma Harris mar
ried Will Cherry shortly after
the beginning of this century.
They had one son, and Mr.
Cherry died in 1923. Later
their only son, Roy Cherry,
also died. Mrs. Cherry marri
ed B- P. Coachman, Sr., but
he lived only a few months,
leaving her with four step
daughters and a stepson to
raise.
It was in 1918, during her
marriage to Mr. Cherry that
she started keeping a cow, to
supply milk for her family,
and the thing soon grew into
a small dairy operation.

Mrs. Coachman milks by
hand and churns manually,
too. She has a churning mach
ine, but she doesn’t like the
taste of buttermilk made by
the machine, and she doesn’t
think her customers do eith
er. Evidently her efforts at
pleasing customers are suc
cessful, too, for she usually
has more calls for butter and
jmilk than she can fill.
She doesn’t try to enlarge
her operation, because she
feels she cannot single-hand
edly handle more. For besides
milking, churning, delivering,
etc., the cows must be fed
land cared for, making each
day a “pretty full one” for
her.
i Such a busy everyday sche
dule would seem to leave lit
tle time for anything else, but
Mrs. Coachman will quickly
correct any such notion-
“I have been blessed by the
(Lord all my life. I haven’t
ibeen sick and as long as I can
I’m going to keep working,”
i she says- and she means
i working in the church and
| Sunday School, as well as
with her cows.
Mrs. Coachman first start
led teaching a Sunday School
rias® 1 54 years ago. (Her last
| teacher was the late Mrs. An
nie Benton.) After she start
ed teaching in 1910. Mrs.
Coachman, recalls only five
Sundays she has Trussed. Four
were spent in Florida on a
trio, and one Sunday she was
absent because of the funeral
of Mr. Cherry. She hasn’t
■ missed again since 1924.
She has taught three gen
erations at the Friendship
church. She says with a twin
kle, “I taught several fami
lies, the grandfather, father
and son. when each was a
youngster. I could tell you
! which one of them was the
(most mischievous, but I
won’t.”
The years haven’t been all
serene and peaceful for Mrs.
Coachman. She has known
grief and sorrow, in the death
of two husbands, her son, a
stepdaughter, and a stepson,
Captain B. P. Coachman, Jr.,
in a postwar aircraft crash.
She has known —and still ob
serves — long hours of hard
work.
It has been enough to dis
courage most people, but it
seems only to have strength
ened the faith and courage of
Mrs. Coachman. That’s how
she is able to keep going at
such a rugged pace when
most people are willing to sit
back and let someone else do
the work.
She’s doing it for “my
Lord-” of whom she speaks
with the same easy familiari
ty—and affection — as if He

Remember December?
Comfort and convenience snowball when
you install flameless electric cooling and
heating in your home.
June heralds summer. And if you’re buy
ing, building or remodeling, this is the time
to remember December and install a flame
less electric heat pump.
It’s so carefree! Only one unit, one ther
mostat-setting, and you enjoy the best in
year-round air conditioning. In summer
you get just the right hint of brisk Decem
ber air precisely at your selected tempera
ture. As winter approaches, this same unit
maintains your comfort by automatically
reversing its cycle to deliver even, dust
free heat.
And the heat pump uses only flameless
electricity, so economical with our special
low rate for total-electric customers. If
summer comes, can winter be far behind ?
Not usually, but Georgians who enjoy the
advantages of total-electric living hardly
know the seasons have changed.
