December 12, 2007
SARAH BERRY
was born on
April 20, 1839 in Alabama and died in
Galveston Texas on June 5th 1917
We were able to find Sarah Berry Dippold's grave in 2006 while I was
staying in Houston for medical reasons. The grave is located in the
Trinity Episcopal Church Cemetery which is located in Galveston Texas.
She is buried in Block # 100 plot 18 of that Cemetery.
I was unable to locate her husband but he may still be buried there.
This Cemetery has been raised several times, as it keeps sinking they
haul in more dirt . Each family is responsible to see that their
relatives headstones are raised to the new level. If the family does
not assume that responsibility the grave is covered with dirt and is no
longer visible. The sinking of the Island is caused by removal of oil
from the surface below. Sarah was married five times. This was during
the period of the civil war and may be the reason so many of them died.
She married her first husband Hiram Howard on November 24th 1853.
Sarah married her second husband, Francis M. McClure on January 5th
1859. On May 18th 1863 Sarah Married her third Husband Robert A.
Taylor. Sarah married her fourth husband, Henry B. Stoneham on August
29 1868. She married her fifth Husband Henrick Dippold on Fbruary 15th
1880.
There were no children born to the last two marriages.
