THE LAMPASAS LEADER
Friday, February 14, 1930
J.H.H. Berry, for many years a resident of Lampasas, died Sunday, February 9, at 11:15 o'clock p.m., following a heart attack. Mr. Berry had been in ill health for a number of years but since November of last year when he suffered a severe heart attack, he has been gradually declining in health. However, he continued to go to his office almost every day and was in his usual state of health Sunday evening when he retired, practically no warning of his condition being given before death came.
Mr. Berry was born in the state of Alabama, Sept. 17, 1859. He came with his parents Mr. and Mrs. G.R. Berry to Texas when quite young and has lived the greater portion of his life in Burnet and Lampasas counties. He was married in Burnet county to Miss Minnie Clyde O'Hair. After growing to young manhood he became interested in ranching and for many years engaged in that business. He was partner in the ranching business for a time with J.R. Brandon in Blanco county. For a period of three and one-half years he and his family resided in McKinney where he was engaged in the dry goods business and it was from McKinney that the family came back to Lampasas about ten years ago. Since that time they have made their home in this city. Mr. Berry became identified with city organization in April of 1926 when he was elected to the office of city secretary, assessor and collector which office he continued to hold until his death. In this capacity he served the city well and was a faithful and honest servant of his fellow man.
Mr. Berry was a sincere christian man, a member of the Baptist church and a member of the Masonic Order. He was held in high esteem in this city and his passing brings sadness to many hearts, making as it does the passing of another of Lampasas' most valued citizens of strong influence for good.
The deceased is survived by his wife, four daughters and one son who are: Mrs. F.C. Wissenbach of Sheridan Wyoming, Miss Nell Berry of Plainview, Mrs. Myrtle Elder and Miss Lulu Berry of this city and Hansford Berry of Rogers. He also leaves four grandchildren; James and Harold D. Thomas of this city, Joe Berry of Rogers and Carrie Ann Wissenback of Sheridan,Wyo. Three brothers also survive him and are: G.R.R. Berry, of Compton, Calif., W.A.A. Berry, Terry, Montana, and J.D.D. Berry of Goldthwaite.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Baptist Church, Rev. A.C. Donath, pastor conducting these last sad rites. Interment followed in Oak Hill with the local order of the Masonic Lodge in charge of the burial service.
The large assemblage of friends and acquaintanes who gathered at the funeral service, and the beautiful floral offerings which paid their silent tribute, bespoke the esteem in which the deceased was held in this city. The auditorium of the church was filled to capacity with sorrowing friends who came to pay final tribute to a man who was a friend to every one. As a mark of respect for Mr. Berry, who held a public office in this city, that of City Secretary, the business houses closed their doors during the services.
Active pall bearers for the funeral service were: Roy Davis, Roy L. Walker, E.L. Key, Ed Hocker, Gordon Mackey, and Will Standard. Ladies in charge of the floral offerings were Mesdamess M.H. Taylor, Elbert Clements, W.H. Walton, R.B. Senterfitt and E.L. Key.
Numerous relatives and friends from out of the city attended and extend their sincere sympathy to the bereaved family in this sorrow that has come to them.
