NOTES159 for Thomas Logan Berry : Following from Beth Crow 1210 Obituary- Thomas Logan Harris BERRY Thomas H. Berry, residing at 2535 Michigan St. passed away at the family home, April 9 after an illness of several months. Mr. Berry with his family had only resided in Bellingham a few weeks, moving from his farm near Van Zant to receive medical attention, after residing in the county for about four years. He is survived by Mrs. Berry, five daughters and six sons, Mrs. G.M. Blakkold of Des Moines, IA; Mrs. A.M. Dezall of Agassiz, British Columbia, Canada; Mrs. B.E. Hornibrook of Markville, Alberta, Canada; Mrs. H.S. Stelzig; and Miss Myrtle Berry of Bellingham, WA. , W.O., H.H., and H.M. Berry of Raven, Alberta, Canada; D.B. Berry of McKenna, Washington; P.E. Berry of Jasper, Alberta, Canada and C.T. Berry of Bellingham, Washington. The remains are cared for at the funeral parlor of Hary O. Bingham 1319 Dock St. Services will be postponed until Mrs. Blakkold from Des Moines, IA, and sons in Alberta can arrive.
HISTORY OF RAVEN COMMUNITY The Raven history would begin in 1901 when William Berry, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Berry came to Alberta from O'Neil, Neb. and looked the land over--which was west of Red Deer and south--and when he wrote to his parents he told them of all the open and wonderful fertile land. Thomas Berry and two of his other sons, David and Harper came in 1902 and all filed on homesteads--the three quarters of Sec.14-36-4-w5. Thomas Berry went back to Nebraska and after settling his affairs, moved his wife and remaining children, Preston, Harold, Grace, Mae, Bernice, Hazel, Charles and Myrtle to settle in what is now the central part of Raven District. Preston later filed on the remaining quarter of 14 and Dave filed on N.W. 12. Later Harold filed on S.E. 10. Tom Berry almost decided to homestead at Hespero. He liked the land there, but wanted to be beside a river. They brought two carloads of supplies even potatoes to plant, also grain. All was stored in one building--the one in which they were to live--chickens and all. They packed water from the river. A large black pot used to heat water was kept by the river and the clothes were washed there, handy to the water supply. Thomas Berry started the first store and Post Office which is still on his homestead, S.W. 14. The Raven school was built on Dave Berry's homestead. It is now demolished and salvaged in the home of some neighbors. One day when Mr. & Mrs. Berry were away, a fire started in the post office. The children formed a bucket brigade carrying water up the hill from the Raven river and saved the building. In 1904 Thomas Berry set up a saw mill on his place by the Raven River. The sawyer was Robert Shannon who came in 1894 and was the first settler. The Berrys never turned away a traveller and one time had a railroad crew of 33 men and 66 horses stay over night. For horse fee, supper, breakfast and bed they only charged $l.00 to each man. These men were bringing material across country to the Rocky Mountain House area. Harold Berry obtained his father's homestead and also his brother Preston's . He farmed until 1948 when he retired and moved to Red Deer. Children: William Oscar (1877-Oct 20, 1971), Anna Elizabeth (1879), David Baxter (1881), Grace Melvina (1884),Harper Henry (1885), Amanda Mae (1888), Preston Edward (1890), Bernice Eunice (1891),Harold Mason (1894), Hazel Samantha (1895), Charles Thomas (1897, Myrtle Irene
