EMMONS L. & LENORA T. BERRY

Emmons and Lenora Berry are my grandparents.  They are as far back as I have traced the Berry family.  They are buried in Bellevue Memorial Park in Ontario, California located on the northwest corner of Mountain Avenue and West G Street.  They moved to California in about 1936 during the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma and took up residence in Upland, just north of Ontario.  I'm not sure what he did to make a living.  He was a farmer in Oklahoma and I can't recall my dad ever saying what line of work he was in.  I remember visiting their house once but I think that was after he passed away.  When they moved there Upland and Ontario were just towns scattered throughout the valley.  Even in the early '50s there wasn't much there.  I remember going from Downey, where my Uncle Clint lived, to Upland and we traveled through a lot areas that didn't have anything.  Now it's just one big city from the mountains to the coast.

 This was their house in Upland, CA
