Four early church pioneers, sons of Jesse Woods and Amelia Shanks Berry, were the founders of Berryville, now Glendale, Utah.
Joseph S. and Robert M. and his wife Isabelle Hale Berry, were killed by Indians April 2, 1856. They are buried in Grafton, near Rockville.
A mob shot and killed William Shanks Berry while on a mission in Tennessee in 1884.

Very interesting, I didn’t notice that.
