FORTY-TWO YEARS A COUNTY RESIDENT
DEATH OF MRS. CHAS. L. BERRY OCCURS FRIDAY
She came to Ft. Winnebago In 1867
Had Been In Failing Health For Many Years - Funeral Monday Afternoon
The death of Mrs. Chas. L. Berry occurred Friday afternoon, Feb. 26, 1909, at 1 o'clock, at the family home in Ft. Winnebago. The direct cause of her death was pneumonia, but she had been in failing health since the month of September, 1906, when nervous prostration afflicted her. A little over a year ago, she had the misfortune to fall while she was descending the cellar stairs, having nearly reached the bottom when the mis-step was made. Though falling but a slight distance a fracture of the left hip was sustained. Since then a gradual decline was noticeable and on Wednesday last her condition became serious, pneumonia developing so rapidly that she passed away on Friday.
Mary Georgiana [sic] Shaw was the daughter of George and Mary A. Shaw, both of whom have passed to their reward. She was born Nov. 14, 1850, at Beaver Dam, Wis., and came with her parents to the town of Ft. Winnebago in May, 1867, settling on a farm. With the exception of a short residence in the town of Buffalo, she has resided there ever since and was widely known throughout that township. On May 6, 1875, she was married to Chas. L. Berry, who survives to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Berry leaves, besides her husband, two sons, Fred G. and Lemuel S. who resided at home, and one daughter, Mrs. Jay B. Cook of this city. also one sister, Miss Lucy E. Shaw of Boyceville, Wis. Miss Shaw has constantly been at her sister's bedside, having come on Dec. 7 to administer to her, and the tenderest of care was cheerfully given until death released the weary, patient sufferer.
