while those which were located in Lynnfield and North Saugus are yet unmolested. To demonstrate as clear as a problem in Euclid that memory had played no tricks in the claim as to the location of the missing milestones in Saugus, one of the few photographic days of this damp autumn was utilized by Mr. Bliss in his search after and capture of the next stone from Felton Street towards Boston. The quest was crowned with entire success, the stone was found as anticipated over our county line in Malden, and marked in the series B 5 M NP 27 which proved that the missing links in the chain were originally placed in the localities we have described. These stones are not symbolic rocks with phallic devices like those of Newbury and Byfield, but honest milestones, marked with English letters and figures. Will you see to it that these wayside memorials remain as reminders of creditable happenings and of a sturdy ancestry? NECROLOGIES SARAH CATHERINE (NEWHALL) BERRY Mrs. Sarah Catherine Berry, daughter of Henry and Ann (Atwell) Newhall, was born in the family homestead on Market street, Lynn, on September 13, 1842. The families of her father and her mother had lived in Lynn continuously for many years, her direct ancestor on her father's side being the first white child born in Lynn. Catherine and her brother, Charles Henry Newhall, were the youngest of seven children. The other five children all died in infancy, and both Catherine and her brother, Charles Henry, were very delicate. Mrs. Berry was educated in the private schools of Lynn and Boston. She entered the Lynn High School and pursued the studies there for awhile, but did not finish the course on account of delicate health at that time. She always remembered with pleasure her attendance at the Lynn High School, and kept in touch with her teachers there, two of whom were nieces of Edward Everett. In those days, it was very exceptional for girls to attend college, and shortly after leaving the High School, Mrs. Berry's health improved and with two of her Lynn friends she attended the private school of Mr. Lothrop on Bowdoin street in Boston. Mr. Lothrop was a man of pure and high ideals, and his school was one of unusual character. Two of the teachers were cousins of John G. Whittier, and the pupils of the school were largely from old Boston families. She showed a considerable aptitude for music, and for several years took lessons of the well known musician, Benjamin J. Lang. On November 23, 1868, she became the wife of Mr. Benjamin J. Berry, who survives her. Upon their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Berry took an extensive trip in Europe, spending a considerable time in Italy. Of this union, three sons were born: Henry Newhall Berry, born September 2, 1870; Charles Atwell Berry, born June 8, 1873; and Benjamin Hun Berry, born December 7, 1878. Henry Newhall Berry and Benjamin Hun Berry survive Mrs. Berry, but her son, Charles Atwell Berry, died September 10, 1892, after a lingering illness. Mrs. Berry was a member of the Unitarian Church during her entire life, and always took a great interest in the Church and its organizations. She died in Denver, Colorado, July 3, 1913, while visiting her son Benjamin. Mrs. Berry became a member of the Lynn Historical Society, February 18, 1907. One of the last acts of her life was to plan and provide for a memorial window to her son Charles, to be placed in the Sunday School room. This window was completed a few weeks after Mrs. Berry's death. HELEN A. COLLINS. The genealogical record of the subject of this sketch is most interesting, for it runs back in its various ramifications through most of the noted families, whose names are so closely linked with the history and development of Lynn, to wit: The Newhalls, Breeds, Atwells, Bassetts, Farringtons, Stockers, Mansfields, Hoods, Ramsdells, Farrars, Fullers, Marshalls, Lewis's and Chadwells, and it is submitted for the benefit of their numerous descendents. Included in this number are four Revolutionary Soldiers : |
