John Berry Obituary
The community was shocked and saddened about six
o'clock, Saturday evening to learn of the sudden death of John BERRY by drowning
in the creek on the Allen LULL farm east of town. He, with John
PATTERSON, Mrs.
BERRY and his father went down to the creek to fish. He went in the water and as
it was a hot day, it was thought he was taken with cramps which caused him to
sink to the bottom. He was in a narrow channel about four feet wide and eight
feet deep. His father and Mr. PATTERSON tried to get him out but could not, so
they had Raymond BURTON come down and dive in and get him out. Mr. BERRY was
well known here and will be greatly missed by his many friends.
John Louis Clifford BERRY, youngest son of Louise and Addie BERRY was born on
the home farm near Morrowville, June 22, 1906 and departed this life June 13,
1931 at the age of 24 years, 11 months and 21 days. He was educated in the
community schools and assisted his parents on the farm.
On June 21, 1926 he was united in marriage to Martha Marie NORLUND, of Wayne, KS
and since then has lived on a farm near where he was born. He leaves to mourn
him besides his wife and parents, two brothers, Charles of Denver, CO and Roy of
Washington, and two sisters, Mildred UNFRED of Haddam, Kansas and Ruth THOMAS of
Haddam. His manliness and sunny disposition made him a host of friends by whom
he will be sadly missed. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 at
the Blocker Church conducted by Rev. LATIMER.
