People's Party
Berry William, son of Jasper P. and Nancy Williams, was born April 16th, 1868, 
and died July 3rd, 1893. On October 4th, 1885, he fell from a tree injuring his 
back to such an extent as to cause complete paralysis of the lower limbs. He was 
never off of his bed only as he was assisted by someone and placed in a 
wheelchair, in which he could move himself about in the house. He had good use 
of his body and arms, and with such tools as he could use with his hands while 
sitting in his chair, he could make anything he choose. A more brilliant mind 
was never possessed by anyone with the same limit of training. During the whole 
time of his afflictions, he seemed to bear everything patiently und was 
contented with his lot. In his last sickness he expressed a willingness to die 
and had his sisters and friends to sing the following song which was a favorite 
of his........

Additional Comments:
Possibly buried in Millerville Cemetery.
