NICHOLAS T. BERRY (deceased), one of the most worthy men who have been
connected with the history of Lebanon, was born in Nelson County, Ky.,
April 28, 1825, and was the son of John H. Berry, who came from Maryland to
Kentucky in 1815.  He settled at a point called Old Hope, in Nelson County;
married Elizabeth Hagan and reared eight children, viz.: Ann (Hagan), Mary
(Buckler), Fannie (McIlvoy), Edward C., Nicholas T., Jeremiah, William L.
and Robert M. Berry.  Nicholas T. Berry was reared in Nelson County,
educated at Mount Merino College, in Breckinridge County, and at the age of
nineteen came to Lebanon and became the first circuit court clerk of Marion
County under the present constitution, and filled the office for a period
of nine years.  In 1860 he was admitted to the practice of law, having
studied in the office of R.H. Rowntree for several years prior.  For a long
period of years Mr. Berry served the county as master commissioner, proving
himself an efficient officer.  He was married in 1855 to Miss Josephine
Boucher, of Washington City, D.C., who died in 1856, leaving one child, Sam
B. Berry, now of the Denver (Col.) bar.  In 1858 Mr. Berry contracted a
marriage with Nannie H. Phillips, who survives him.  In the management of
his financial affairs Mr. Berry was prudent and judicious and at his death
left a handsome fortune.  On the 20th of April, 1882, he fell dead from his
horse, being the seventh of his family who have as suddenly died.  He was
an ardent and faithful member of the Catholic Church, and his grave is
marked by a huge cross, twenty feet high, cut from solid granite, said to
be the largest of its kind on this continent.  Sam B. Berry, the only son
of Nicholas T., born June 1, 1856, graduated valedictorian of his class at
St. Mary's College, Kentucky, in 1876, studied law under Gov. J. Proctor
Knott, came to the bar in 1877, and in 1879 was elected prosecuting
attorney for the city of Lebanon, Ky., and served as elector on the
Cleveland and Hendricks ticket, receiving a larger majority than any of his
associate electors. e married, in 1870, Miss Maggie C. Booker, daughter of
W.F. Booker, of Washington County. In the fall of 1886, he moved to Denver,
Col., where he is engaged in the practice of his profession.
