Final Roll Call

Answered by Comrade Ed. Berry this Morning.

From Saturday’s Banner.

At five o’clock this morning just as the day had succeeded [unreadable], Edwin
R. Berry answered the final roll call and passed to [unreadable] view on the
other side after a long and tedious struggle with Brights disease, aged 64 years
and 9 months.

Mr. Berry was a pioneer of these parts and has been a resident of the city about
six years, having moved here at that time from his farm near Cooks Corners where
he had long resided.

When Major Frank R. Chase and Capt. Demorest recruited their company at Otisco
in the dark hours of the Rebellion, Mr. Berry was one of the first to respond
and saw hard service in the various campaigns of Co. B. 25th Michigan Infantry,
which held its reunion at Schoolcraft the first of this week.  He was an honored
member of Dan S. Root Post and had held the position of commander.

Besides a wife and two children, Mrs. Fred Thompson of Cook’s Corner and Jos. T.
of Ann Arbor, he leaves three brothers, John Berry of Rockford, and George and
Charles Berry of Lincoln Lake, and two sisters, Mrs. D. Delahanty of Greenville
and Mrs. H.E. Peifer of this city.
