Thursday 26 Feb 1920 A. T. Rankin, "Berry" one of Harrison county's best known and most popular citizens, died at his home near Florence, Ky., Sunday, Feb. 22, at an advanced age. Mr. Rankin suffered a stroke of paralysis some time ago, from which he never recovered. For many years he owned and operated a farm near Berry, where he was numbered among the leading citizens. Of a kindly, generous nature, liberal and friendly, a man of high ideals, it is not strange that every man was his friend and that he was welcomed everywhere. He reared a large family and his sons are of the leading citizens in their different communities. The death of this excellent man will be mourned by a wide circle of friends, who extend sympathy to the bereaved family. The funeral and burial took place at Benson yesterday afternoon, the body being laid to rest by the side of his wife, who preceded him about ten years. Mr. Rankin had sold his farm near Berry a few years ago and bought near Florence, where he resided with his son, Grover. Surviving sons are, Dr. G. L. Rankin of Shawhan; James Rankin, formerly secretary of the Burley Tobacco Co., Glencoe; Robert Rankin, Elgie Rankin and Grover Rankin. There are several surviving daughters End of ky-footsteps-digest V01 #068 ********************************************************************** USGENWEB ARCHIVES NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by any other organization or persons.
