Copied from a page in Leslie Dalton Crunk's book; "The History of Charles Dalton":
"Robert Berry married Elnora Warner in 1842 in Reading, [Hillsdale Co.,] Michigan. They had two children, Rosetta Mary and Charles Alma Berry. This family left Michigan with a caravan for the west to Nauvoo [IL]. As the work was scarce in Nauvoo, Robert Berry decided to return to Michigan, leaving his family in Nauvoo with her family....As Elnora did not receive letters or money from Robert, she was persuaded to believe that he had left her and would never return. Simon Cooker Dalton, who was the postmaster in Nauvoo at this time, became her ardent and persistent suitor and admitted many years later when he was a old man with a family in Utah that he had confiscated her mail!
"Meantime Robert Berry returned to Nauvoo to get his family. He found the city deserted and his family gone. It is claimed that so great was his grief that his hair turned white overnight. Robert Berry, not knowing where to find his family returned to Michigan with a broken heart.
"Later in life, Robert Berry's daughter, Rosetta [Mary], whose father-in-law was on his LDS mission to Michigan, found Robert Berry. Robert then found out about the story of what Simon had done. Robert Berry was heard to say that if he ever met Simon Dalton, he would kill him! Years later he did go west to find Simon, and at his field gate in Centerville, Utah, Robert said to Simon, "I have always claimed that I would kill you, but I will let the Lord take care of you!"
