The genealogy of the Berryhill family in the United States is traced back to Colonial Days before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, to the great-grandfather of E. A. Berryhill, who gave his life in the cause of liberty and freedom, during his service in the Revolutionary War.

The Berryhill family is of Scotch ancestry. The grandparents of E. A. Berryhill were M. W. and Katherine C. Berryhill, who were the parents of ten children, nine of whom grew to maturity and three migrated to California: O. D., F. A.; and Sarah M.; three other members of the family reside in Missouri.

Olando DeKalb Berryhill (FAG#26221677), the father of Eugene A., was born in Arkansas, in 1859. In 1875, when about sixteen years of age, he arrived in the Golden State; subsequently he moved to the San Joaquin Valley, settled in Tulare County and engaged in grain-raising, then he entered the raisin business and has continued in this industry ever since.

On June 12, 1879, O. D. Berryhill was united in marriage with Miss Angelina Myers (FAG#26221678), a native of Missouri, who migrated to California in 1875; she was the daughter of Conrad Myers. This union was blessed with seven children: Herbert F., Eugene A., Edith, Mrs. Henry Estes, Homer L., Claude Chalmers, Leonard R., Gussie, and Zoa (who died at age 6).

Eugene A. Berryhill, the subject of this review, was born October 15, 1884, on his father's ranch in Fresno County and received his early education in the public schools of the Rosedale, Mendocino, Hills Valley and Sand Creek districts. Since his school days were over he has engaged in ranching and is now located about four and one-half miles southwest of Sanger, living on the ranch where he was born and of which he is the owner.

On November 25, 1906, Eugene A. Berryhill was united in marriage with Miss Georgia Madsen, born in 1888, in Oakland, CA., the daughter of Robert K. Madsen. This union was blessed with the following children: Yvonne, Robert, Virginia, Richard, and Marian Jeane (1923-1941)

Mr. Berryhill was classed among the enterprising and worthy young ranchers of Fresno County, and he and his estimable wife were highly esteemed in their community. He was a stockholder in the California Associated Raisin Company.
