BERRIE, SUSANA
(4 Mar 1920, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
OBITUARY.
Mrs. Susana Berrie was born in Ohio, May 26, 1843.  When a girl she moved
to Iowa where she married and with her husband moved to Nebraska and lived
there until in 1890, they moved to Texas, and from Texas they moved to
Oklahoma in 1894.  They have lived in and about Dill until Mr. Berrie's
death in 1913, since then Mrs. Berrie has made her home with her children.
 Grandmother has been in poor health for a number of years, however she
has been able to be up and around.  About nineteen days before her death
she was stricken with inflamatory rheumatism, and from the first of her
affliction there was but little hope of her recovery, and she gradually
grew worse until she died February 17th.  She was laid to rest in the
South Burns cemetery.  Funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. R.
Richey.  Mother Berrie is survived by three sons and two daughters, Rev.
S. A. Berrie of Jefferson, Texas; D. A. Berrie, Erick, Okla.; Mrs. L. C.
Smith of Mt. Carroll, Ill; H. F. Berrie and Mrs. E. M. Walker, both of
Dill, Okla., besides a number of grandchildren and a host of friends to
mourn her death.  All the children were present when the end came, except
one daughter who could not come on account of quarantine of her town.
Grandmother Berrie was converted in her early childhood, and for a number
of years she has been identified with the Holiness people.  During the
hardships and trying problems of life she has kept in mind that this world
is not her home, that there was a better city, that heavenly, which hath
foundations whose builder and maker is God.
We extend to the bereaved ones our sympathy, and hope that during the
lonely hours the voice of God may be heard, that He may bless and comfort
their hearts.
