WORLD WAR I
BATTERY D76 FIELD ARTILLERY

Dallas was the youngest of 10 children born to his parents. Chronologically, his elder siblings were Lucy, Lizzie Azalene, Lulu, John, Bessie Melissa, Joseph Lesley, Primea May, Jesse Augustus, and Amanda Pearl O'Berry. Patriarch Joseph William supports his family as a lifelong farmer in both the Peach State of Georgia and later the Sunshine State of Florida. At the age of 16, this evening's honoree would lose his father, Joseph William O'Berry when he passed away on January 9, 1910 at the age of 61. As the United States began preparation to enter the First World War, Dallas enlisted in the military on June 5, 1917. He would be assigned to the U.S. Army's 76th Field Artillery Regiment which was deployed to France in the Spring of 1918. The 76th was heavily involved in combat throughout the war and the regiment later served as part of the Army of Occupation around Coblenz, Germany, before returning to the United States in August of 1919. Upon returning home, young Mr. O'Berry would live with his mother while working full time farming for a phosphate company. On October 6, 1923, Dallas married 17 year old, Emma Lee Overstreet in Polk County, Florida. Six weeks after getting married, Mr. O'Berry would lose his mother, Arletta on November 30, 1923. She was 63. Together Dallas and Emma Lee have two sons, Joseph William and "Mack" O'Berry before divorcing after 18 years of marriage in 1941. Like his father before him, Dallas would partake in the field of farming for his entire life. In the summer of 1967, Dallas would relocate to the hilly town of Dade City, Florida. Sadly he would lose his life just six months later.
