William Henry "Harry" Berry was born in 1894, in Devonshire, England, to Melinda Smith (nee Baglow) and William Smith. His father died in 1898. His family came to Langley when he was 13. His mother got married again, to James Berry. He played on the Milner Men's Basketball Team in 1921-22. He started keeping a general store on the Old Yale Road in 1920, and in 1930, when the Fraser Highway became a part of the Trans-Canada Highway system, built the Berry General Store on the south-east corner of 232nd Street (Livingstone Road) and Fraser Highway (23210 Fraser Highway). He lived at 4290 Livingstone Road, near the store. He married Ruth and they had four children, William D., Audrey, Linda and Judy. Much of the local community survived the Depression due to Berry's extension of credit. Berry was quite involved in the Masonic Order and the Eureka Lodge. Berry's nephew Jack Maitland began working in the store in 1946, and managed it until 1980. He and then partner Ernie Morelli sold and turned the management over to Kyung Il Chun. During the 1980s (and up until at least 2008) the store was run as "Ye Olde Country General Store." He died at the age of 70 on July 6, 1965 at Langley Memorial Hospital, and was buried in the Fort Langley Cemetery.

John C. Maxwell played on the Milner basketball team in at least the 1921-22 season.
