General Notes: Husband - David W. Berry


He passed his youth in the township of his birth, and in 1853 moved with his father to North Strabane township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He attended the common schools of the district, and afterward entered Jefferson College, at Canonsburg, where he prosecuted his studies with success until the close of the sophomore year, when, along with his brother, John M., he enlisted in Company G, One Hundred and Fortieth P. V. I. He followed the fortunes of his regiment, participating in all of its battles up to that of Cold Harbor, where, on June 2, 1864, he was mortally wounded, dying in the hospital at Alexandria, Virginia; his remains were interred in the cemetery of the U. P. Church at Pigeon Creek, Washington County, he having been a member of that church.
