James was the son of James William Berry & Viola Osborn. He was KIA in South Vietnam serving our county during the Vietnam War. He was single.

Note: A new double marker was made when his sister passed away. The date of death is different on the new marker, which is an error. James was killed in action in 1965. The older marker was removed and possibly destroyed, and is no longer on the grave at White Chapel. I just happened to have a photo from an earlier visit and discovered they were different.

Update: On a recent visit to graveside a new marker was discovered for James G. Berry with dates corrected. April 2020
