| Text | On Tuesday Morning Jan 14, 1896, at her home near Washburn, MO, Mrs. K. C. Berryhill breathed her last. She was 72 years, 6 months, and 9 days old. Her companion still survives her and is in his 81st year. If she had lived three days longer they would have been married just fifty-seven years. They had been residents of Barry County about 41 years. To them eleven children were born four boys and seven girls. Four daughters had already crossed the cold Jordan and mother had gone to meet them. Her life was spent in service for her loved ones and in all her sickness and suffering she was very patient and uttered no word of complaint. She professed faith in Christ in her youth and lived a faithful Christian till the time of her death. May the Great Father of all mercies comfort her aged companion, whose greatest consolation is to know that he will soon follow her? They laid her gently to rest in the family graveyard and Heaven is nearer than it ever was before for mother is there. "We only know that she has gone, And that the same relentless tide, Which bore her from us still glides on And we who mourn her with it glide. Dear is the spot where Christians sleep And sweet the strains that angels pour, O" why should we in anguish weep? She is not lost, but gone before." Clara Berryhill [Research Note: My great grandmother wrote this obituary, for her mother-in-law, my great-great grandmother. K. Catherine (Broyles) Berryhill was buried on the Berryhill farm, near Washburn, MO. Her husband was Michael Weeks Berryhill.] |
