Augustus & Clara Barry, San Fran @ 1890
Hi All,
Is anyone else looking for Augustus "Gus" Barry?He would have been my great-grandfather.We have very little on him, only that he was said be Irish or of Irish descent, came West from Louisiana to the San Francisco area in the 1880's or early 1890's, and married a woman named Clara, said to be from Boston.We have no futher info, only that they had two sons, Richard A. Barry and William Barry, both born probably in the very early 1890's.No idea if they had other kids who may have died young.
Richard Barry served in WWI in the 316th Engineers and was decorated for valor, married Erika Sjostrand @ 1922, and had two children, Richard and Margaret.Richard Sr. died in 1936 in San Francisco, and is buried at the Presidio.
Can anyone help me with Augustus?This is a very broad and vague request, but the name is just odd enough that I hope it may ring a bell.We have no idea when Augustus died, but apparently it was before 1920, as Richard and William were living together on the San Francisco City Directory about that time, no Augustus in sight.Hoping for a miracle....!
Thanks!Sincerely,Gloria Atwater
