It is with much sorrow and heartfelt regret that the announcement is made that another family circle is broken, another dear one has passed away. Mattie Williams, wife of Thomas Berry, died last Saturday. A year ago the deceased had an attack of pneumonia which left her with a cough which clung tenaciously to her, and it was feared consumption would eventually claim her as its victim. For some time she had been troubled with heart failure which terminated in dropsy of the heart and was the cause of her death. By the advice of her physician, who had no hope of her from the first, her sister was summoned home from California, reaching here four weeks prior to the day of her burial. All that loving hands and the best of medical skill could do for the sufferer was done to make her last days more comfortable. Her relief was only temporary. She longed for death and prepared for it as one would to go on a journey. Anxiously she scanned the clock, watching and waiting for the hour to come to release her from her suffering. Seemingly a vision of her heavenly home and loved ones gone before was revealed to her, as a few minutes before she died she called—“Mother, take me”—and quietly fell asleep. It is but a few brief years since the deceased came to this locality a stranger, to dwell, yet she had won the hearts of all; none met her but with sympathy, none knew her but to love her. She leaves a kind and devoted husband on whom the blow falls heavily, two young sons, a brother and sister, who has lovingly cared for her, and a legion of friends. Funeral services were held Monday at the residence of Capt. A. C. Fay, her late home, at noon. Rev. J. G. Lorimer led in prayer and Rev. Mr. Hazen, who united Mr. and Mrs. Berry in marriage, officiated in the sad rites of burial. Edward Miner had charge of the ceremonies. The Baptist choir from Georgia Plains furnished music, and floral tributes covered the casket. Bert Williams, only brother of the deceased, and three brothers of Mr. Berry, acted as bearers. The interment was in the local cemetery. Twenty of the friends and relatives from Richmond, her former home, attended in a body. It was a very large funeral procession, comprising 36 teams.
