Rev. William Berry died at his home in Glen Allen, August 31, 1909, at the advanced age of 81 years. He had been in feeble health some time, but was able to be up and about until a few weeks ago. In the death of Mr. Berry our county loses one of its honored substantial pioneer citizens. For many years he was influenced in the politics of our country and was elected by his party, the democracy, four times as Rep. in the Mo. Legislature-the 27th, 28th, 29th and 32nd General Assemblies. Having professed religion and joined the Congregational Methodist Church in 1875 he was licensed to preach the gospel the following year and continued active in the ministry until he became too feeble to do the work. Mr. Berry was a merchant and farmer and his success may be attributed to his industrious habits. He had no patience with the indolent. He leaves two sons, several daughters and many relatives and friends to mourn their loss.
