   BERRY, GENERAL HIRAM G., was a native of Maine, in which State he was
   born August 27, 1824. With the beginning of our civil conflict he
   resigned his place as president of the Lime Rock Bank, raised three
   companies of volunteers, and was made colonel of the Fourth Maine
   Regiment. In March of 1862 he was commissioned a brigadier-general,
   and in the following November a major-general. At the battle of
   Chancellorsville he led his division in a bayonet charge and was shot
   dead.
