been his usual helpful self, cheerful and sympathetic self. There was little
warning when the time came. A little after
Mr. Berry was born in Prentiss County, at Baldwyn. The son of Julius A. and Margaret Walker Berry. Of his immediate family he leaves his widow and a small daughter, Margaret Sales Berry. One of seven, his lot was not an easy one. His boyhood days were spent in a home where love reigned supreme and it was here the training of his saintly mother and the example of his godly father's life molded the character that later met the world with poetry in his soul and a smile for his fellowman.
He was educated in the public schools of his boyhood home and Mississippi College, Millsaps, Vanderbilt University and the University of Chicago. He spent years of his young manhood in the schoolroom as a teacher, making friends who never ceased to love and honor him. He served as superintendent of schools at Baldwn for 1 year, later teaching at Clinton, Mississippi and Vanderbilt University. These years of service, given so freely to the youth of the land were full of happiness for him. With a vision which marked him for success he gave of his time, his talent and his strength, most liberally.
Church activities consumed a great part of his time and energy. A champion of old-fashioned moral standards and orthodox beliefs, he denounced modern tendencies that sought to undermine the home and deny the influence of religious teaching.
In politics, Mr. Berry's voice was never indistinct. A stalwart Democrat, he took the principles of Andrew Jackson, an advocate of States Sovereignty, although he yet recognized the broad functions of a strong Federal Government and never was a servile follower of policies, which were merely partison, or provincial. Mr. Berry's talent for leadership was recognized by his fellowman. He served 8 years as Attorney for the First Judicial District, serving with distinction and numbered his friends among the high as well as the low. He served as Mayor of this town for two terms, here showing the same fait‑‑dealing and consideration which made every man call him "Friend".
Soon after coming to Booneville he was united in marriage to Miss Annie T. Lee Shinault. Miss Shinault was a member of one of Prentiss County's oldest and most honorable families, one daughter Margaret Sales, was born to this union. Mr. Berry was a loving man, proud of his family and interested always in their welfare.
The sympathetic heart of a town and community beats in union with the loving hearts and true friends over his going. His life was his sermon; his daily contact with his fellowman his pulpit; and these built for him ties of love and friendship that will last as long as eternity.
Funeral services were in charge of his pastor, Bro. Olander, assisted by Bro. John Buchanan of Paris, Tennessee, D. I. Purser of Tupelo and J. A. Rogers of Amory. He was laid to rest in the family burying ground at Baldwyn amid a covering of beautiful flowers.
Besides his wife and daughter, deceased leaves four brothers JN. Berry and Dr. C. R. Berry of Tupelo; Dr. P. L. Berry of Shannon and Professor P. W. Berry of Senatobia and one sister Miss Linda Berry of Blue Mountain.
