HARVEY BERRY. Harvey Berry, aged 73 years, died at his home in Avon, Mo., January 21, 1909. He was born near Staubtown, Ste. Genevieve county, and grew to mature years in that county. Just after the Civil War he was engaged in farming, in which he was very successful. He attended strictly to his own business, was kind and courteous to his neighbors and indulgent with his family. The past few years he was engaged in the mercantile business at Avon. He leaves a wife and four daughters to mourn his death. The daughters are Mrs. R. E. Coffman, Mr. C. A. Boyd, Mrs. Emmett Boyd, and Miss Mattie Berry. Mr. Berry had been in declining health for some time, though he was up until a few days before the end came. His suffering was intense, yet he bore it well. He expressed his readiness to go, that he was prepared to die. Rev. W. E. Coffer preached the funeral at the residence, after which the body was taken to the cemetery, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends and laid to rest to await the resurrection from the dead. May God's grace be with all the bereaved family. A FRIEND. [FARMINGTON NEWS, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Jan. 1909]
