My Genealogy Hound

A. C. Berry, M. D., is a native of Morgan County, Ohio, and was born June 27, 1852, and is a son of William and Elizabeth (Cummings) Berry, who celebrated their golden wedding January 7, 1886, and are now residents of Macon. To them five sons and four daughters were born, one daughter dying in infancy. A. C. was the youngest child, and has three brothers and two sisters still living, and all residents of Missouri. One, William R., was a surgeon in an Ohio regiment during the late war, and Warren W. served in the Federal army, in the Sixty-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The paternal grandfather lived in Ohio and died in Iowa. Our subject left Ohio with his parents, and located at Macon, Mo., where he began the study of medicine. He attended the Ohio Medical College of Cincinnati, from which institution he graduated in 1876, and in April of the same year located in Unionville, Mo., where he has since resided. He practiced three years and a half in partnership with Dr. Hart, then alone for a few years, then with Dr. Brumbaugh about two years, and then alone again until March, 1886, when a partnership with W. L. Downing was formed. In 1877 he was married to Katie O’Reilly, a native of Ohio, by whom three sons and one daughter have been born, one son dying in infancy. He is now a prominent physician of Unionville, and is considered one of the enterprising citizens of the township.
