Lawyers and Lawmakers of Kentucky, by H. Levin, editor, 1897. Published by Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago. Reprinted by Southern Historical Press. p. 396. Union County. WILLIAM ALVIN BERRY, of Uniontown, was born on the 17th of January, 1870, in the city where he still resides. He was educated in the public schools of Union county, and studied law with his father, William Franklin Berry, a distinguished member of the bar. On the 24th of August, 1890, he was admitted to the bar and entered into partnership with his father, a connection which was continued until the latter's death, since which time he has been alone in business. He has built up an extensive practice as the result of his faithful care of all interests entrusted to him, and is a student, examining with great thoroughness the questions involved in the litigation with which he is connected. He is an able and effective speaker, whose mode of expression is most happy, and he is quick to note his opportunity. He has been prominently mentioned in connection with the office of county attorney and for several years has been secretary of the Democratic county committee. He is one of the wide-awake, enterprising young leaders in Democratic ranks and his influence is strongly felt among the young men of his native city. On the 22d of April, 1896, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Berry and Miss Pearl Baker, of McCracken county, Kentucky, an accomplished and beautiful woman, who has made their home the center of a cultured society circle. She is a daughter of John W. Baker, a prominent tobacconist of Paducah, Kentucky, and grand master workman of the Ancient Order of United Workmen of Kentucky.
