WILLIAM BERRY

Osceola Sun
20 September 1878
Wm. Berry, son of E.C. Berry, who has been afflicted with epileptic fits for a long time, died last Thursday evening. It is natural for parents to mourn the death of their children, but in this instance joy should take the place of grief. The deceased was getting well along in years, and was afflicted with a disease that was beyond the reach of medical skill. His life was one of pain to himself and sorrow to his parents, and every visitation of his severe convulsions seemed to be more distressing. Now that he rests from his affliction, his relatives should rejoice that he has gone to that land where disease and death never come.
