He was reared near Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania, where he attended the public schools and the old Boalsburg Academy, later becoming a student at Washington and Jefferson College, from which he graduated in 1868. He then began the study of law, and for one year read under the instruction of James A. Beaver, later the governor of Pennsylvania, at Bellefonte. Following this he went to Ebensburg, Cambria County, and studied with J. M. Reade, an eminent attorney of that place. He was admitted to the bar of Cambria County in March, 1871, and immediately entered upon the practice of his profession. For two years he was successful, but on account of failing health he was obliged to abandon work, and for a year he devoted his time to travel and sight-seeing. Regaining his health he, in 1874, located in Warren County, Pennsylvania, and in December, 1875, removed to Bradford, where he began active practice, after being admitted to the bar of McKean County in February, 1876. Mr. Berry was a Republican in politics, served one term as chief burgess of Ebensburg, and as a member of the school board of Bradford. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity. [HMEF, 333]
