Wonder what would be a reason for him to be naturalized 2 years after arrival to America? Why not five years of waiting?

If he married in US than church record and state marriage application might provide you with a place of birth and parents names.

Son Peter's church baptismal record should have his parents place of birth.
You know religion of your ancestor?

Have you followed up with locating the family in 1920 and 1930 census? The 1940 census will be out next year.

CZERNY - black
CHERRY is C^eres^na in Slovak

"naturalized 1886 when he arrived in 1884" ?

http://www.genealogybranches.com/naturalization.html
There was a 5 year residency requirement (in the US) to become naturalized (raised to 14 years in 1798, lowered back to 5 in 1802).
