LAND, Berryman H. Dr. 1828 - 1888

Wednesday afternoon, the family and numerous friends of Dr. B. H. Land, Sr. were 
compelled to bid him farewell. His death was very unexpected, for although a 
sufferer from an abcess of the bowels for some time, he was able to be up and 
dressed on the morning of his death but suffering unusually and it is supposed he 
took an overdose from some narcotic from which medical aid was unable to 
relieve him and he breathed his last few moment before 3 p.m. Berryman H. Land 
was born Jan 21, 1828 at Spartinburg, S.C. but moved to Alabama in 1831 and 
farmed until he was 18, when he went to Lebanon, Ill. where he was a student 2 
1/2 years and in 1849 he began the study of medicine in St. Louis. He graduated in 
1856-57 from the Missouri Medical College, retuned to Illinois then came to 
Henry County in 1865. He has lived in Clinton since 1868. He was married July 18 
1849 to Miss Nancy J. Outhouse [Aulthouse]. They had one child, James F., who 
pratices his father's profession in our city. His wife's death occurred March 22, 
1855. He again married June 6, 1856, his bride Miss Angeline Latham of Alabama.
