The family name, "Berry", is on the plinth of this granite headstone, which is topped by a fairly stout cylinder. One can still make out the Old English "B" at the center of the cylinder on both sides. The Woodmen of the World emblem is at one end of the cylinder, while the keystone and compass and square of the Freemasons are at the other. The inscription reads:
