He was a member of a family of 6 daughters and 7 sons. His parents, 5 sisters and 3 brothers preceded him in death and awaited his coming to the other Land. When Jabez was but four years of age his parents came as immigrants to the United States. They settled first at Knoxville, Illinois, later moving to Texas. They came to Nebraska in 1883 and settled at Seward county, where the family lived for many years. On September 9, 1890, in Seward, Nebraska, Jabez Berry married Mary E. Reynolds. Mr. and Mrs. Berry lived near Seward for some years moving to Dawson county in 1908. To this union two sons and one daughter were born. One son, Clee, passed away in 1909. On September 27, 1916, Mrs. Berry passed to the life beyond. Her body was laid to rest in the family lot in Greenwood Cemetery. On November 28, 1917 in Grand Island, Nebr., Mr. Berry married Mrs. Tillie Reynolds, a sister of the first Mrs. Berry. Thus the sister took up the cares and responsibilities of life where her sister laid them down. All his life since childhood Mr. Berry has been a farmer. He was a progressive farmer and successful. He toiled hard, provided well for his family, was an excellent neighbor, a true friend, an honorable man. He was the type of man this community can ill afford to lose. To his family he was a good father and a loyal husband. For some years Mr. Berry has not been in the best of health. The years took their toll. But even his family were not prepared for his sudden going on the morning of September 2, 1936. He would have been 74 years old on his next birthday in November. Jabez Berry is survived by his wife, Mrs. Tillie Berry, by one daughter, Miss Naomi Berry and by one son Arthur, of Lexington, Nebr. Mr. Berry is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Anna Callahan of Oklahoma, by three brothers, Walter of Waco, Nebr., Wilson of Beaver Crossing, Nebr.; George of Oklahoma, and by numerous nieces and nephews and other relatives. The funeral service was held Friday afternoon, Sept. 4, from the home. Dr. Louis H. Kaub, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, officiated. The body was laid to rest in the family lot in Greenwood Cemetery. Seward Independent, Seward, NE, Thurs, Sept 10, 1936
