Obituary
March 5, 1903. Judge George W. Berryman will answer no more the roll call of Ben T. Embry Camp, Ex-Confederate Veterans; but he has gone to answer the "roll call of the veteran beyond the skies". He was born in Giles County, Tennessee, June 19th, 1834, came to Pope County, Arkansas. In early manhood: was married to Miss Theresa Ann Vinson of near Dover, this county, in 1858. Died February 28th, 1903.
He has been a citizen of Arkansas 52 years, fifty of which have been spent in this county. He enlisted in Moyne's regiment at Russellville in 1861, from this place he went immediately to the "bloody scenes of battles" and fought bravely in several engagements but principally at Iuka and Corinth. At the latter place, while serving as captain of his company, he received a wound that resulted in the loss of his right leg. Thus ended his active career as a soldier in service, but not in heart and patriotism. Love for the "lost cause" burned in his bosom until the "lamp of earthly love burned out" and the fame of a Heavenly light came to guide him to the "spirit world".
Judge Berryman had no apology to offer for the "lost cause". In it he fought, suffered and bled, and in sentiment he died. Not more than a year's service was he allowed to render the cause he so gladly shed his blood, but in that one year he breasted the fire of two of the hottest in the civil war.
Upon his return home Judge Berryman studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1868, and became emenent as a statutory lawyer. He served as justice of the peace about fifteen years, in which capacityhe gave universal satisfaction. In 1890 he answered the call to enter the race of the county and probate judge, to which he was elected and served the county two creditable terms. In 1900 he againentered the race for the same office and was again elected, by a handsome majority, and was serving his fourth term when he died. In his capaghn life he was clean and scrupulopus, never resorting tothe roll of the demagogue.
Judge Berryman was a minister of the gospel in the Primitive Baptist Church and was universally beloved by his parishoners. Pope County has claimed fewer menof a more sunny disposition. When the world oppressed him hard and he struggled the hardest his depression only illuminated his face. His cheering smile lifted a burden from many a lonely heart. He bore his own burdens and lightented up the pathway of the world.
As a husband and father he was the truest and most provident. One of the "heroes of battles," genial fathers of home and universal friends of men is dead, yet "he liveth."
Judge Berryman died of paralysis at his home in Russellville Saturday evening, February 28, 1903, after being ill but a few hours.
