Biography

Oldest child of Edward Hershel Berry and Nannie Vowell. Based on birth dates and places of his siblings, it is assumed the family moved to Tennessee before or about 1900.

Carl Berry married Effie B. Rucker on 23 Apr 1918, in Davidson County, Tennessee. They were parents of three children: Nanny Florence Berry Bledsoe, Vernon Charles Berry, and David Clarence Berry.

He was a farmer in Davidson County for most of his life, but lived with his daughter and her family in Jackson, TN, prior to his death. His grave is unmarked. (source-Find A Grave)
