Dr. Hugh Berkley of DeSoto was buried last Friday in that city. He had been in bad health for years and died in Kentucky, whither he had gone on a visit to his brother. Religious services were held at the Congregational church after which DeSoto lodge A.F. & A.M. of which he was an honored member, took charge of the remains and interred them with Masonic honors. Dr. Berkley had been a resident of DeSoto for many years and was well known throughout the county, his professional calls sometimes being from long distances. He had a reputation as physician second to none in this part of the State, and was much respected and admired for his many good qualities as a man. He was a faithful officer in the Presbyterian church for years, but on the organization of the Congregational church in DeSoto, he united with it. He leaves a wife and several grown children. We do not know his age, but he was well along in years. The verdict of all is – a good man has gone to enjoy the fruits of a well spent life.
