BERRYMAN TRIVIA
[compiled by Marvin E. Berryman - 12/02]
___________________________
John Berryman, of St. John's College, Cambridge (England), was installed as the new Master at Felsted a few weeks after Lady Day 1567. Berryman was the rector of Shelley from 7 September 1568 to 1572, when he resigned it for Rochford. Berryman was succeeded in 1576 by Henry Greenwood, M.A. [from The Victorian History of the Counties of England - Essex - Vol. 2]
______________
The 1796 "Jacob R. Berriman Bible" was the first American "large, slim, single-volume folio Bible" printed in English. It was printed in Philadelphia, PA and was printed just 14 years after the very first Bible printed in America by Robert Aitken.
______________
At age 29, John Berryman, Troop Sergeant-Major, 17th Lancers (Duke of Cambridge's Own) British Army was awarded Victoria's Cross for his actions in during the "Charge of the Light Brigade".
On 25 October 1854 at Balaclava, Crimea, Sergeant-Major Berryman, whose horse had been shot under him, stopped on the field with a wounded officer amidst a storm of shot and shell. Two sergeants, J. Farrell and J. Malone, came to his assistance and between them they carried the wounded officer out of range of the guns. He also saw service in the Angla Zulu War of 1879 as a Quartermaster Major and retired at that rank.
John Berryman was born in Dudley, Worcestershire on July 18, 1825, died at Woldingham on June 27, 1896. He is buried at St. Agatha's Church Yard, Woldingham.
_______________
Richard Berriman of Toadsmoor, Gloucestershire England, born c.1735, who married Anne Warren in 1763 was the earliest in this line whom can be identified with reasonable certainty. It is very likely that this Richard descended from another Richard Berriman, also a cloth worker of Toadsmoor, born c.1685, but his baptism has not been found.
William Berriman, the eldest of three sons of Richard and Anne Berriman, was born in 1768, married twice and had nine sons and four daughters. Between 1820 and 1832 William and six of his sons were involved in a series of crimes, ranging from petty theft and sheep stealing to armed robbery, finally resulting in William and three of his sons, Edward, Joseph, and Thomas, being sentenced to transportation for life to Australia, and one son, James, being hanged. Edward appears not to have arrived in Australia, possibly dying before he got there.
William & Joseph arrived in Sydney aboard the convict ship "Speke (2)" on Friday the 18th May, 1821. Some ten years later, in 1839, William met with foul play and was found murdered on the road from Sydney to Liverpool. Joseph took up farming in the Braidwood, NSW, area but apparently was unable to stay on the right side of the law as he was arrested for cattle stealing in 1866. His two sons, Joseph and William had turned to bushranging and were members of the notorious Clarke Gang, while his daughter Ellen married John O'Connell another member of the Clarke Gang.
______________
John Berryman (age 53) was tried by Mister Justice Gibson in Londonderry 20th to 22nd of July, 1908 for 2 murders which occurred at Tirkeeran, near Garvagh, County Derry, Ireland. He was convicted of battering to death his brother William Berryman (age 55) and his sister-in-law Jean Berryman (age 33) on Wednesday the 18th of March, 1908.
On Thursday, the 20th of August, 1908 John Berryman was executed in Londonderry, Ireland. The hangman was Henry Pierrepoint.
______________
Clifford K. Berryman, Editorial Cartoonist of the Washington Star, depicted President Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot a bear cub in November 1902. The published cartoon was titled "Drawing the Line in Mississippi".
From this drawing came the "Teddy Bear". Berryman never copyrighted the image or restricted it's use in any way. It has been manufactured by the millions since 1903 as stuffed toys and has become one of the most popular toys of all time.
Berryman later used a drawing of the "Teddy Bear" as a "dingbat" in all his cartoons. There was a "Clifford Berryman Teddy Bear" which closely resembled his "dingbat". [I would like to acquire one at a "decent price" :-) Have seen them online for $595 - MB]
______________
Clifford & James Berryman were the only father & son to win the Pulizer prize for Editorial Cartooning. They probably were the only father/son combination to win the same Pulitzer Prize in different years. Clifford K. Berryman of the Washington Star won in 1944, James T. Berryman of the Washington Star, won in 1950.

In 1908, James 'Dana' Berryman played on the Central City, Nebraska baseball team. The pitcher was Grover Cleveland Alexander and it was Alexander's first professional team. [Brad Eoff emailed the team photo]
______________
James Hayden Berryman, musician, C. C, 4 Regt Ky Mounted Infantry, Confederate States Army, enlisted August 29, 1861 at Camp Burnett, Tenn. The roll for Nov. 9 to Dec 1863 is last on which his name appears. He is listed as deserted Nov. 26, 1863.
The Union Prisoner of War records show him as captured at Missionary Ridge, Tenn. Nov. 25, 1863. He was a prisoner at Rock Island, Ill. until Oct. 13, 1864 when he enlisted in the U.S. Army for Frontier Service in the West. He was discharged from the U.S. Army at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. in Nov. 1865.
He settled at Central City, Merrick County, Nebraska ca. 1868. His brother Bell Berryman joined him there in 1871 and they formed a partnership in the general merchandise business known as J. H. Berryman & Brother.
J. H. Berryman died January 17, 1905 when hit by a Union Pacific Railroad train as he was crossing the tracks on foot. An inquiry panel absolved the engineer on charges of manslaughter but the railroad was determined to be at fault. The railroad said they were sorry for their train being operated in a reckless manner. [from Brad Eoff]
______________
Alman Washington Berryman fought in the Civil War as did all his 6 brothers except Anderton Brown Berryman, who was too young at the time. Alman was a pvt. in the 49th Virginia Infantry. He enlisted across the river in Flint Hill, with Winterton D. Poe a distant relative of Edgar Allen Poe. In 1862 both were wounded at the Battle of the Seven Pines, near Richmond, VA. A.W. was shot in the shoulder with "The Bullet", a .58 caliber mini-ball. They were treated at the same hospital in Richmond.
Both men were wounded again at Gettysburg (A.W. being shot in the hip) then they were captured on South Mountain and treated at a Yankee field hospital near Frederick, MD. They were first sent to Fort McHenry in Baltimore then imprisoned at Fort Delaware and eventually at Point Lookout on the Eastern Shore (only 12 to 15 miles across the Bay from Westmoreland County, VA where A.W.'s Berryman ancestors settled in the 1600s).
A.W. was exchanged ca. March of 1864 and rejoined the 49th Infantry after some time at his home in Linden, VA. His friend W. D. Poe wasn't released until the end of the war as he was being treated as a Hemophilic.
A.W. was injured a third time at Fisher's Hill in September, 1864, but it is believed this was a slight wound, perhaps to the hand or even a finger. [Chris Klinedinst]
_______________
[the following is by Chris Klinedinst, a great grandson of Alman W. Berryman, as told by Chris' mother Nora Berryman who was one of A.W.'s grandchildren]
Grandfather Berryman periodically came to Harrisburg, PA by train from Washington D.C. to stay a week or more with Mamo and Papa & Cecil and the 3 girls. On arrival he would pull out 3 new shining pennies, give one to each of his granddaughters and say: "I just made these at the Treasury Department before catching the train."
Then the girls would ask their grandfather to see "The Bullet" (the one that had been shot into his shoulder at the Battle of The Seven Pines). He would raise his sleeve and they would examine and touch the bulge of the black object under the skin to determine how far down his arm it had travelled since they last saw him. The story my mother told always ended with "The Bullet" being taken from his wrist when he died.
Records show that Alman W. Berryman received a pension of $30 a month after the Civil War.
______________
Bishop's Ferry, Ohio, KY - Foreman Berryman tells about the Mound Builders. 10-12 mounds are located approximately 100 yds from his land and are arranged in a circle on a plateau atop the bluff which faces upstream and overlooks the former ferry site on the Rough River, South of Hartford, KY.
Foreman says flint arrowheads and like weapons and other prehistoric artifacts have been dug from the mounds. On his land he has plowed up such relics and blackened mussel shells or fragments.
He believes mounds were used for defense and lookout and that the people used the river for mussels and fishing and used his land as dining quarters or for ceremonial feasting. [from quotes from Filson Club's History Quarterly, June 1955 source: book "History of Ohio Co, KY"]

Rev. Jerome Causine Berryman (Feb 22, 1810 - May 8, 1906) was the son of Gerard Blackiston Berryman, the grandson of William Berryman, the g grandson of Benjamin Berryman and the gg grandson of John Berryman. He was a native of Kentucky, emigrated to Missouri in 1828 at the age of 18 and was "received on trial" in the Missouri Methodist Conference that same year. He then served four years as a "Circuit Rider" in 17 counties with Farmington, Missouri as his headquarters.
In the minutes of the St. Louis Methodist Conference for the year 1832, it indicates that Berryman started a new church in St. Charles, Missouri, before he was appointed to the Kickapoo Indian Mission School near Leavenworth, Kansas. Following the death of his first wife, Sarah Culbertson Cessna Berryman on July 28, 1846, he left the mission work in Kansas and with the remaining 4 of his 6 children by Sarah, moved to Arcadia Valley near Fredericktown, Missouri.
He gave many years to education as head of denominational schools including 14 years as principal of Arcadia High School and was founder of Arcadia College. A delegate to the historic General Conference of 1844, he lived to be its last surviving member.
He died in Caledonia, Missouri and his obituary ran in the New York Times on May 9, 1906. [I have visited the Kickapoo Indian Mission museum. MB]

________________
The history of Berryman Products dates to 1918 when Waldo B. 'Pappy' Berryman traded a prize winning stud horse for a patented tire sealing formula. The patent was transferred on the 23rd day of December, 1919.
With his family, Pappy traveled across the country in a converted wood panel Graham Truck. They traveled from coast to coast bartering their Sealex Tire Sealer for meals, fuel and accommodations. It's told when Pappy hit a hot sales area he would set up production in a rented room, mix his formula in the bathtub, then fill orders from his truck the next day.
Located in a back-woods area of Lima, Ohio, an old shack was converted to serve as the first manufacturing site for Berryman Products. Packaged in glass, early major products like Solvall Tune Up Oil, OilZall Valve Oil, and Lubrex Super-Lubricant gained localized acceptance and popularity and set the pace for Berryman's quality reputation.
Coolex, Rust Knox, EZ Dox-It, Zingo, Gyroseal, Rad-Seal, Bloxit, Boilero and Quix were other products added to the line during the first 35 years of business. In 1958, B-12 Chemtool ® was developed as a multi-purpose surface cleaning solvent and soon became Berryman's flagship product.

Michael Berryman's Biography: Birthday: September 4, 1948; Birth Place: Los Angeles,California.
At 6'2", Michael Berryman is a "Walking Special Effect". A birth defect makes it impossible for him to grow hair, nails or teeth. This birth defect also left him with no sweat glands. This causes heat to build up inside and, when acting, he has to rest for 15 minutes every hour to cool down. These birth defects have been a "casting blessing" for some fantastic roles.

John Berryman, the poet, was not born a Berryman, his real name was John Allyn Smith, Jr. the son of John Allyn Smith & Martha (Little) Smith.
He had a brother Robert Jefferson Smith. Their mother was a teacher and their father was a Banker in McAlester, OK.
In 1924, their father abruptly quit his job, and in the fall of 1925 they moved to Tampa, FL where he and Martha bought and ran a restaurant called 'The Orange Blossom'. The Florida real estate Bust of 1926 put them out of business. One June morning the father shot himself, directly in front of the family home.
Martha Smith immediately moved herself and the boys to Queens, NY and soon after, she married a Berryman whom she had been seeing in Tampa. John Berryman later took his stepfather's name.
John Berryman and Kate lived at a rustic cabin they rented from Dulcie Scott from mid-August to mid-September, 1962. The cabin is a mile from the Bread Loaf campus where Berryman taught that summer, with Robert Frost -- "the Great Man," Berryman called him -- living just down the road. Here, with Kate's indefatigable assistance, Berryman finally put together the first volume of his Dream Songs, which would win him a Pulitzer and a National Book Award.
_______________
"A Sting in the Tale" is the only biography to receive the full approval of "Gordon Sumner, the tall fair-haired Wallsend kid who would be Sting" it was written by James Berryman. Jim Berryman is Sting's friend of some 37 years "from the school playing fields to their days as trainee warehousemen".
When Jim Berryman meets Dustin Hoffman and Tom Hanks by the poolside at Sting’s mansion it seems that their differing worlds are about to collide: “You two look like you’re ready to take the plunge?” He says nodding towards the swimming pool. One of the yanks replied: “I think he’s already married.”

My cousin Don Berryman told me a story about my great great grandmother, Zeralda Scott Berryman (b. July 26, 1825, Barren Co. KY - d. Cozad, NE, Sept 2, 1913).
It seems she had lost all her teeth by her later years and she constantly smoked a "corn-cob pipe". Don said that when she fixed breakfast her pipe would slip over and sprinkle ashes on the pancakes. The grandkids got to where they preferred their pancakes that way! [maybe that's why I like to see pepper on my eggs! MB]
