Hubert W. Berry was born in Missouri, probably in Ash Grove, on April 26, 1879 to William and Caroline (Boone) Berry.  In 1900, at age 21, Hubert lived with his parents on their farm and worked as a day laborer (U.S. Census). In the Fall of 1902, Hubert worked as a quarry laborer for $1.25 per 10 hour day for the Ash Grove White Lime Association (Ash Grove White Lime). Hubert died just two years later, of unknown causes (Russell 2012).
