James A. Berry is my mother's ;Elizabeth Garrett Freeman, cousin. his mother Sarah (Sadie)nee Garrett Berry was her aunt. Sadies brother Thomas Allen Garrett was my mothers father. they immigrated from Belfast Northern Ireland.
Sadie lived in NJ where she met & married Andrew (Drew) Berry. they relocated to Inglewood California. following Drews early death, James came to reside with my family in NJ for a short time before retuning to CA.
Jim moved to Tucson AZ 9299 N Indian summer dr following his moms death.we have been attempting to locate James A.Berry since he stopped communicating with us and the Christmas cards I sent were returned to sender.
since finding this post I have been in contact with various agencies in Pima County AZ and was finally able to find the funeral home he was released to. I am currently waiting to hear back from the.
we are saddened that Jim did not have us listed as emergency contacts as he was an only child and my mother & our family are his only living relatives his mothers side. I reached out to the Marana PD were able to confirm our cousins passing and directed me to the office of the Medical Examiner.
if you happen to see this reply I would love to have you daughter contact me.
