Hi Nancy:
I've been searching all day trying to help you find out about Nellie. I'm not
related, just helping you.
I think I may have found out what happened. I searched the White Co. Website and found
burials for John Schyler Coonrod and Nellie Hollett Coonrod. Dates and picture of
tombstone are shown. John was s/o Josiah and Mary Engler Coonrod. There is also a bio on
Josiah Coonrod on the site.
I also found all the censuses for Nellie and John. You may already have these.
I also found burials for James W. Berry b. 20 Jan 1841 d. 27 Apr 1919, and Mary E. Berry
b. 18 Nov 1852 d. 27 Jul 1914.
I did some searching for these Berrys and found that James W. Berry was widowed in the
1880 census for Clinton Co. IN Johnson Twp.
I also found a marriage in Clinton Co. IN for James W. Berry and Mary E. Hallett 6 Sept
1880. Book C-6 Pg. 584.
I searched 1900 census and found in White Co. Jackson Twp:
James W. Berry b. Jan 1841 age 59 married 20 yrs. b. IN
Mary E. b. Nov 1851 age 48 b. OH
Also seven children were listed.
I am sure that Mary was Nellie's mother and she remarried to a Berry in 1880. I
haven't found Nellie and Mary in 1880 yet, but you can help me search for them.
I did try to find them in White Co. and Clinton Co. but no success yet. I'm interested
if you find them so I'll stop searching.
(I searched my IN Birth Index CD and found a birth of a female to John S. Coonrod and
Nellie Hallett in White Co. 4 Sept 1901. No name shown but is probably Vera.)
Good luck!
