FORMER RESIDENT DIES IN PENNSYLVANIA

Sarah L. Berry, whose early life was spent in Winterset, died recently at Swarthmore, Pa., according to word received here this week. Death was caused by a coronary occlusion. She was about 46 years of age.

Miss Berry was born at Clarkdale, Ia., but came to Winterset with her family when she was a small child. Her father was in business in Winterset, operating a variety store here for many years. She attended the Winterset schools and graduated from the Winterset high school. The family left this community about 30 years ago.

She later attended Coe college at Cedar Rapids and did graduate work at Radcliffe college in Cambridge, Mass. At the time of her death, she had been a Latin and English teacher at the Springfield high school in Pennsylvania for 20 years.

She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Hattie G. Berry of Harrisburg, Pa., a brother, W. H. Berry of Harrisburg, and a sister, Mrs. Malcolm Merrill of Tucson, Ariz.
