​​Sarah Elmira Berry​, eldest child of William and Caroline (Boone) Berry, was born in Missouri, likely in Ash Grove, on September 1, 1873. Little is known about Sarah’s short life, but it appears she never married or had any children. She died on May 21, 1894 at 20 years of age (Russel 2012).

Grave marker: The grave marker for Sarah E. Berry is a limestone tablet style monument with no identified preserved base. The marker is 25 x 12 x 3 inches in size. The east face is engraved with an image of a dove in flight above open gates with pillars on each side and a path between the gates leading into the distance. By 2010, the marker was lying flat on the ground. In 2017, the marker was placed in an upright position with help from Monument Shoppe specialists.
