In Mount Berry, Georgia, people find a group of schools built specially for mountain children. The schools and the mountain itself are both named after Martha Berry, a daughter of a Georgian mountaineer (山区人).
Martha Berry was born in 1866. Luckier than most Georgian children, she received an education, but she never forgot other children of the mountains, their parents couldn't send them to school. In 1902 Martha Berry started a school for these children. It was a small wood house and only five pupils came. Now, eighty years later, there are over ten Berry schools in the mountain-area (地区), with one thousand students in them.
Martha Berry in her later years received many honours (荣誉) for what she had done for the poor mountain children of Georgia, and in 1931 she was named one of the twelve most important women in the United States. She never stopped working for the mountain till her death in 1942.
