CHARLES II. BERRY DEAD.
A WslI Known BusinesA Man Goes to His
Final Rest,-A Brief sketch,


Final Rsst--A Brief sketch,
Charles II. Berry, the well'known
rope and cordage merchant and dealer
in boat tackle and other supplies, died
at $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon at
his residence, corner Of ohapline and
Twentieth streets, aged between sixty
and seventy years,
The deceased was actively engaged in
the rope, Irvine and general cordage
business, first US q manufacturer and
latterly as a wholesale and retail mer.
chant, from his youth up to the time OF
his death, He was born in Boston,
March 4, 1925. His father was a
native OF England, and while young
emigrated to Boston, where he mar
ried, About one year after the
birth Of the deceased, his father moved
his family 10 Cincinnati, and four years
later moved to this place, where he man
ufaCtured the first MANILA rope made
west OF the Allegheny Mountains. His
rope walk occupied an orchard In North
Wheeling, near where the foundry OF Jo-
seph Bell & Co. now stands, The busi-
ness proved a successful one, and in
1885 the old gentleman was enabled to
build walk and residence out the Ma
tional road, near Fulton, Soon after the
biz panic struck the country, and from
1887 to 1874, the rope business
reached such q low ebb that the
elder Berry was forced to turn
the business over To RediCk Mckee, a
we'll remembered old time citizen but In
1915 Charles II. Berry, the deceased, sue.
eeeded to the business his father had
started. He soon found himself ham-
pered for want Of facilities and securing
an eligible tract OF land below Benwood,
built d large rope walk there, Here he
continued In business till 1869, when
finding 1t impossible 10 compete in man
uiacturing, he sold the property and To-
Gated here engaging In the job
hing business exclusively, He was
then located on Water street, where in
1871 he was burned out; the loss was
Sl2, 500 = insurance 5000. He then
rented on Main street, and in the course
OF ten days had laid in an extensive
stock. In the course OF two weeks this
warehouse was also discovered to be on
fire, but was fortunately saved with but
little loss. Shortly after he moved back
to Water street, and in 1870 moved back
on Main street, at No, 1875. Later he
moved back on Water street occupying
the building on the corner Of the Stamm
House alley, where he has been ever
since, doing good paying business that
has enabled him to prosper in other
ways.
He was married in October, 1857, to
Grace, eldest daughter Of W, McMeChen,
OF Marshall county, who died the sue
Ceeding June. In the fall OF 1850 he
next married Agnes, second daughter Of
Mr. McMechen, by whom he has had
four chtldren-three sons and daughter.
The deceased up to within very short
time enjoyed uniformly good health,
and the news OF his death will be con-
siderable OF n surprise to u largo portion
Of tho community, Mr., Berry was q
man respected bv all, and his death will
be sincerely regretted by large mum.
bet, while his family will have the sym.
pathy OF large circle OF friends.

Clerk Thompson, OF the Municipal
Court, yesterday afternoon, on com.
plant OF George McNIeChen, issued war;
rants for Brown Berry and George
johnson, well known colored men, on
the charge OF disturbing religious wor-
ship at the Simpson NJ. L. Church on
Sunday. This is the Colored church on
EoF street, commonly known Us the
Fifth Street Church. McMeChen Is one
Of the trustees. Johnson is local
preacher.
The arrests grew out OF n little scene
in the church during the services Sun
day. Dr.Reed, the pastor, referred to some
scandalOus stories recently put In circu-
lation, and denounced them with much
emphasis Us untrue. Berry, for some
reason, resented the pastors remarks,
and responded, "speakin' right out in
meetin'," whereupon DR.. Reed rehuked
him sharply. Johnson, whoat this time
sat in the pulpit, construed the last re-
marks TO apply to. him also. He and
Berry both made some pointed remarks.
It Is expected the whole matter will be
aired at the hearing this morning.
A story reached the ears Of reporter
last night that the official board OF the
church was to hold q meeting to inves-
tigate the charges. This statement DR..
Reed, who was seen last night, pro-
nounced untrue. He refused to make
any statement,
