Mrs. A. M. Berry, a highly respected pioneer of Jacksonville, died on
Thursday, September 3, 1908, at Delphi, Ind., aged 84 years. Death was
caused by general debility due to old age.

Mrs. Berry was born at Delphi, Ind., September 16, 1824. Her maiden name
was Wilson. In 1850 she was married to A. M. Berry. In 1857 Mrs. Berry,
with her husband and two children, came west by way of the Isthmus of
Panama to San Francisco, then to Crescent City by boat, thence on a mule's
back from Crescent City to Jacksonville, where they lived for nearly 50
years on the Berry farm, just east of town.

Mrs. Berry is survived by three children, Isaac, Wilson Berry of
Jacksonville, Mrs. Mary De Lamater of Portland and Mrs. Alice Kane of
Ashland. The remains will reach Jacksonville, Saturday. Interment will be
made in the Jacksonville cemetery, beside the graves of her deceased
husband, son and daughter.
