Arch M. Berry Jr., twenty-one, injured in an automobile accident on the Lee highway, north of Staunton, late Sunday night died in the King's Daughters' hospital Tuesday morning at six o'clock.
He was born in Augusta county, near Spring Hill; Oct. 2, 1917, a son of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Berry. Besides his parents he is survived by three brothers, J. M., J. E., and F. R. Berry; a sister, Miss Nancy Lee Berry; and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Root of Mossy Creek.
He had been a member of the Spring Hill Presbyterian church for a number of years, and the funeral will be conducted by his pastor, the Rev. Paul R. Shiflett, this afternoon at three o'clock from Pleasant View Lutheran church. Burial will be in the adjoining cemetery.
Active pallbearers will be Jack Billing, Fred, Cupp, Harry Cupp, Mack Crosby, Dawin Arey, Billy Homes, George Ashby, Ralph Wheeler; honorary, John W. Jones, Edward Root, Erskine Cupp, Claude Van Lear, Lacy Cupp, Branner Huffer, Samuel Cupp, Harry Billing, Richard Dudley, Boyd Wagner, Wayt Kibler, Willard Kibler, Wallace Cason, Dr. L. M. Bectom, Eugene Hiner, Scott Hamrick Jr., Calr Carun and A. M. VanLear
Mr. Berry was a government cattle tester in Augusta and Highland counties. The accident happened Sunday night about eleven-thirty o'clock, and officers believe young Berry either went to sleep, or lost control of his car when it skidded on the wet pavement. The machine struck a tree and was practically demolished.
The driver suffered multiple injuries, but one at the base of the brain was described Monday by his physician as fatal.
This was the fifteenth highway fatality in Augusta County this year.
