Conrad C. Berry, one of the best known citizens in the Fifth ward, died this morning of consumption at his home, 751 Mifflin Street, after a lingering illness. He was in failing health since August a year ago and his decline though slow, was pronounced ever since. He was confined to bed since last January and for the past seven weeks was absolutely helpless. Death therefore came as a relief from suffering. The deceased was 60 years old on October 1. Besides his wife, there survive two daughters, Mrs. William T. Seibert, 749 Mifflin Street, and Miss Ella, residing at home and four grandchildren, Nevin, Alton, Evelyn and an infant, all children of Mr. and Mrs. Seibert. There also survive three brothers, John A, Berry, of this city, and a sister, Mrs. Henry Rhode, of Jonestown. The deceased was a native of the county, having been born and reared in East Hanover. He learned the blacksmith trade with his father, the late Henry Berry and worked with him for many years. He then went to Uniontown where he resided for some years and then about fifteen years ago, returned to Lebanon County and settles in Lebanon. He conducted what is known as the Reinhold blacksmith shop for more than twelve years and went to the Lebanon stove works, where he was engaged until his failing health required him to relinquish all business activity. He was a member of Circle No, 25, Brotherhood of America, and First United Evangelical church. He was highly respected wherever he was known and his demise has created sorrow in the circles in which he was familiar. [Lebanon Daily News, October 21, 1907, Page 3]
