Josephus, son of C.C. Berridge and Sarah C. Berridge, was born August 22, 1863; was married to Miss Addie Butler, Sept. 3, 1884; died Feb. 23, 1888. He leaves a wife and one child and many relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
In January 1887, he united with the First Harrison F.W. Baptist Church. From that time he lived a faithful member until our Heavenly Father called him from his earthly home to share with Him the glories of a better world. Before he passed away he called his friends around him, bid them good-bye and said "All is right, the Lord is with me, with His face as bright as the morning star."

How silently the shades of evening
Gather around our lonely door;
Silently they bring before us
Faces we shall see no more.

How such holy memories cluster,
Like the stars when storms are past,
Pointing up to that fair Heaven
That we shall again at last.


Meet again! when life is o'er,
Meet again! to part no more,
How it cheers the drooping heart
When from friends we are called to part.

Meet again! How passing sweet!
Friends long lost again to meet!
Careworn souls, by tempest driven,
Oh, how sweet to meet in Heaven.
