In Westerly, R. I., March 19, 1885, of catarrhal fever, Mrs. Wealthy Stillman Berry, wife of Horatio S. Berry, in the 81st year of her age. She was born in Westerly, May 17, 1804, and was the daughter of Dea. William Stillman. Of a large family of ten children, eight sons and two daughters, three brothers, among them Eld. C. C. Stillman, and the sister, Mrs. Martha Bright, survive her. Mrs. Berry had no children, but an adopted daughter, Mrs. Wm. C. Stanton, who was with her at her death. These, with the greatly bereaved husband, survive her. A large number of relatives are mad sad by her death. It was only a little more than a year ago, Mr. and Mrs. Berry celebrated their golden wedding. Sister Berry, when about twelve years old, made a profession of religion, was baptized by Elder Matthew Stillman, and united with the Hopkinton Seventh-day Baptist Church. When the Pawcatuck Church was organized in 1840, she and her husband were among the constituent members. Only six out of the fifty-one constituent members of this church now survive her. In her Christian life she was quiet and undemonstrative, but conscientious and faithful. Her faith was firm and steady, her life exemplary. Though dead she yet lives in the lives of some who come after her. Her funeral services, on March 23d, were conducted by her pastor. O. U. W.
