MEET

Submitted by: Solveig Berry (SolveigMB@aol.com)

Dividing Line

My husband's grandfather was Dink Berry. Born 1877 in Etoile, Barren County KY to William Franklin Berry and Mary Elizabeth Matthews. Dink's father died before 1880 census, and Dink and his widowed mother moved to Marion County, AR shortly after that. Several of her Matthews siblings had already moved there. Mary Elizabeth married William Gowan "Dock" McCracken around 1883 in Marion county. Dink taught school in Marion County for many years, and for some time was the registrar and county assessor.

This a picture of Dink Berry and his family. The picture was taken around 1911.
From left to right: Earl born 1904, Victor born 1901, father Dink born 1877 in Barren County KY, Loyce born 1907, mother Laura Flossie (Jenkins) born 1878, Guy born 1905.
They had two more children, Maude born 1912 and Blake born 1915.
