"BERRIER - In her allotted span of four score, six years and six months. Mrs. Lily Berrier used her God given talents wisely and, although she spent her days quietly, she leaves a record worthy of emulation. Her life story is written as follows:
Mrs. Lily Susann Berrier was born in Cape May, New Jersey on October 20, 1864 and passed away in the Clay Center Hospital after a short illness, on Sunday, November 26, 1950, at about 11:15 in the forenoon, at the age of 86 years, 1 month and 6 days.
Mrs. Berrier was one of a family of 8 daughters and 1 son, born to William and Deborah Stiles Ogden. At an early age she came with her parents to Kansas were they settled on a homestead east of Clay Center, Kansas and just one mile south of the Ebenezer Methodist Church. There she grew to womanhood and was united in the bonds of holy matrimony with Frank Berrier, October 25, 1882. To this union five daughters and two sons were born. Two daughters, Bessie and Lillian preceded their parents in death.
Mr. Berrier died on March 10th, 1920. Following his passing, Mrs. Berrier moved to Clay Center, where she lived several years. About two years ago she moved to Broughton where she has enjoyed the friendship and the kindness of her friends. Despite her age, she preferred to live alone and enjoyed the privacy and independence of such a life.
Mrs. Berrier was a pioneer mother who believed sincerely in God and evidenced that belief by a life long membership in the Methodist Church. She loved to do whatever she could for her Lord.
When a young woman she served as Sunday school superintendent and taught a Sunday school class as long as her health permitted. She loved to go to the house of God when ever services were held. She lead prayer meeting only last August 24th in a very fine way.
Mrs. Berrier was an energetic and kindly soul who loved to help others. "The law kindness was every on her tongue". She was an original thinker who refused to let someone else to do her thinking for her. She was devoted to her family and loved every one of them dearly. Those left to cherish her memory are; Ernest Berrier, Mrs. George (Myrtle) Hemphill of Broughton community; Mrs. Emil (Mildred) Carlson of Clay Center, Kansas; Mrs. Chester (Florence) Albritton of Childress, Texas, and Lawrence Berrier of Agenda, Kansas, and their companions.
