He was the sixth of ten children.[1] Berry married Carrie Leola Clough (1877 – 4 March 1909), in Liberty, Waldo, Maine, on 17 August 1893. They had three children, Hilda Marion Berry (17 March 1895 – April 1974), Miriam Clough (b. April 5, 1897), Lawrence Worthing (22 June 1903 – 30 July 1936).[2] After Carrie died, he married Edith Van Wagner.[4] Berry died on Thursday, 24 May 1945, in Cambridge, Massachusetts – he was 79 years old.[3]
Educationedit
Berry received his A.B. degree from Colby College in 1885, and graduated from Newton Theological Institution in 1889. He was one of the first students to attend the University of Chicago when the new school opened in 1892, where he studied Semitic languages. After earning his Ph.D. in 1895, he was an instructor there for a year. In 1896 he was appointed Instructor of Semitic Languages at Colgate University. When Assyriologist Nathaniel Schmidt left Colgate and went to Cornell that year, Berry continued Schmidt's history course. He was promoted to Professor in 1897 and in the following years expanded the Assyriological offerings at Colgate.[5][6] Berry was a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity.[7]

^This interlinear Greek New Testament, which is still in print, actually involved almost no original work by Berry but simply combined in one volume three existing works by different editors/authors. The main body of the book reproduces The Englishman's Greek New Testament, giving the Greek text of Stephens 1550, with the various readings of the editions of Elzevir 1624, Griesbach [1827], Lachmann [1842], Tischendorf [1859], Tregelles [1872], Alford [1863], and Wordsworth [1860], together with an interlinear literal translation and the Authorised Version of 1611 published in London by Bagster in 1877 without naming the author - who was later identified as Thomas Newberry (1811-1901). This, in turn, used the Greek text and the variants from the named editions from an early edition of F.H.A. Scrivener's edition of the Textus Receptus, first published by Cambridge in 1860 and repeatedly revised and republished afterward, and to this Berry added the brief Greek-English lexicon which is listed separately among his published works.
