General H.G. Berry, Chancellorsville casualty, is buried in his home town of Rockland, Maine

Brigadier-General Hiram G. Berry was buried in the town he was born with "full Masonic honors." He had been killed at dawn eleven days before by a Confederate sharpshooter at the head of his brigade, which he usually led without much concern for his safety, during the Battle of Chancellorsville. He left a wife and young daughter.  Notable citizens who attended the services included Vice-President Hamlin and Abner Coburn, the state's governor.  (By John Osborne)
