• Residence, 1887, Fox, Grant, Oregon, USA. ^{5 9}
Father's sister, Rosa Ann Berry, and mother's brother, Lewis Holloway, were married in March of 1887, and already plans were underway for a move to Oregon. This move actually began on May 1, 1887.

• Residence, 1890, Lone Tree, Cass, Missouri, USA. ^{5 10}

• Residence, 1892, Fox, Grant, Oregon, USA. ^{5 9}
By 1892 Dad and Mother had returned to Oregon. Just why they returned is uncertain. Three events may have been important. Mother's father, David Holloway, passed away in May 1891. Then Dad's grandfather, James Grimes Berry died in December 1891 and Dad's father Uriah Berry, decided to move back to Illinois.

• Residence, 1893, Healdsburg, Sonoma, California, USA. ^{5 10}
This time Dad claimed a homestead in the upper end of Fox Valley. Bessie was born on this homestead in 1891. However, after Bessie's birth, Mother's health was so poor that they decided to go to California to see if the climate there would be of any help. On September 4, 1893 they started for Healdsburg, California, where Mother's uncle, Arch Holloway, had settled.

• Residence, 1894, Fox, Grant, Oregon, USA. ^{5 10}
The following spring (1894), word reached Dad that someone was trying to preempt his homestead, claiming that he had deserted it. So Dad made his way from Healdaburg to San Francisco, took the boat to Portland, the train from there to Pendleton and then by horseback to Fox. After he had done the required work on the homestead he returned by this same route to California. He then got Mother and the two children in the wagon and returned to Fox. This took another month and they arrived quite late in
the fall of 1894.

• Residence, 1897, Beach Creek, Grant, Oregon, USA. ^{5 11}
Dad proved up on the homestead in 1897 and sold it shortly after-wards. We then moved to Beach Creek where he purchased a place which included some ranch property and was also a stage coach station. His responsibilities included caring for the stage line's horses and providing meals and lodging for passengers desiring them.

Since this was too much for one family to handle, he invited Uncle Lewis and Aunt Rose (Berry) Holloway and their two children Elsie and Troy to join us. They built another house near the station and so the two fami-lies were almost as one. Ernest, Bessie and Elsie rode horseback to a country school a couple of miles away. The rest of us were not old enough for school at this time. [Beach Creek is 2 mi south of Fox, on US-395]

• Residence, 1902, John Day, Grant, Oregon, USA. ^{5 11}
In 1902, Dad sold this property and moved to the town of John Day where he had purchased a grocery store and meat market (ad from paper--also James T served as a city councilman. James signed for Andrew Earl and Hattie to get married in John Day). He also bought a ranch four miles down the John Day River on which to keep the livestock before it was butchered. Uncle Lewis was to care for the ranch while we lived in town where Dad looked after the store. I started to school there that fall. Byron was born at John Day on December 1, 1902. Three months later Dad was in Cass County. The News (Feb. 20, 1903) reported that "J. T. Berry who makes his home at John Day, Oregon is ... visiting relatives and many old time friends ... [in] this city and Garden City. His father [Uriah] was the founder of the latter place and gave it its name." Garden City was organized as a village in 1875 but no record of this meeting has been found.

The News concluded that "J. T. will remain in this place until the end of the week." Hence it is probable that he was back in John Day by March 5. Two weeks later Mother passed away on [larch 20, 1903. After that, Uncle Lewis and Aunt Rose moved in with us and the combined families lived in town while school was in session and then we all went down to the ranch in the summer.

• Residence, 1905, Kane, Greene, Illinois, USA. ^{5 11}
Dad sold the store in 1905 and prepared to move to Illinois.

• Photo, Abt 1910, , , Illinois, USA. ^{5 13} This event was shared from Uriah Bryan Berry who also shared it with Arthur C. Berry, Elizibeth Anderson, Eugene Berry, John Fleek Berry, William Theodore Berry, and Worthy Everett Berry.
