MORTUARY

James Herbert Berry was born Sept. 2, 1856 in Monroe township, Madison county, Iowa, and passed away at his home near Cairo, Mo., Aug. 26, 1941, at the age of 84 years, 11 months and 26 days. Had he lived one more week he would have been 85 years old.

He spent all of his early life not far from the place of his birth. On Jan. 1, 1877, he was united in marriage to Frances Emily Smith who passed away Sept. 27, 1928. To them were born six children, five of whom are living: Floyd E. Berry, Mrs. Mollie Leak, Manville F. Berry, Ruth Berry and Mrs. Esther B. Morrow. A son Walter Berry passed away July 7, 1940. He also leaves nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Mr. Berry and his family made their home for many years near the old Kasson church. The land where the church was built was given by his father for that purpose.

In the spring of 1907 the family moved to Ft. Scott, Kan., and lived there until 1917, when they moved to Missouri, where they have since made their home.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Forrest Kellogg of Columbia, Mo., in the Fellowship church at three o’clock, Aug. 28 and he was laid to rest in the Hamblin cemetery. Six nephews, Lyle Edwards, Frank Edwards, Tom Edwards, Wilbur Smith, Frank Smith and Earl Smith acted as pallbearers.
