He was the second son of William and Catherine Berrier who passed away many years ago. With his parents he moved to La Salle County IL in the year 1868 where he grew up to manhood moving to Hastings, NE in 1879 and remaining only a year, coming from there to Clay County, KS in May 1880. He was united in marriage to LILLY S. OGDEN of Clay County October 25, 1882. To this union seven children were born. Two daughters preceded him to the heavenly land, Lillian in 1896 and Miss Bessie in 1911. His wife, three daughters, two sons, one grandson, one daughter-in-law and two sons-in-law survive him. The daughters are Mrs. Myrtle Hemphill, Mrs. Mildred Carlson and Miss Florence Berrier, all of Broughton. The sons are Ernest and Laurence Berrier, also of Broughton. There are also living four brothers and three sisters, named: Fred Berrier, Wilson and James Berrier of Clay Center. George Berrier of Blue Rapids, Mrs. Mattie Sigler of Industry, Mrs. Maggie Dow of Pomona, CA and Mrs. Annie Ady of Waneta, NE. Mr. Berrier has been a great sufferer for more than two years from that dread disease, cancer, but he bore his affliction with great patience and was always cheerful. He was of a great genial disposition and made many friends wherever he lived. He was a good neighbor, a kind husband and indulgent father and was highly respected by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed, not only by his family, but by a large circle of friends. He was baptized in the Lutheran church in his childhood but made no public profession of faith in Christ. The writer had several talks with him a short time before his death and he professed his faith in Jesus Christ and said that he was ready to go. This brings great comfort to the surviving family. The funeral services were conducted at his home at 10 o'clock and at the Broughton church at 11 o'clock, Friday morning March 12th. His paster, reverend CB Young officiated, internment was made in the Clay Center Cemetery. unknown paper and date.Although the obituary has what it has...the cemetery records online show a death date of March 10, 1920, and the headstone pic (on ancestry.com, as no one has loaded one to FaG yet) also shows death year 1920. Wondering if in the transcribing of the obituary the ")" was turned into a "9". Perhaps you can post this note, or some approximation thereof, until someone in the family steps up to clarify.
