Mrs. Berry's Funeral.
BRIEF MENTION OF THE LIFE OF A REMARKED
WOMAN.

BRIEF MENTION OF THE LIFE OF A REMARKABLE
WOMAN.
Simple funeral service will be held at All
Souls Unitarian church, at 4 o'clock this after
noon. in memory Of Mrs. Sarah B. Berry,
who died at the Columbia hospital yes
terday morning. The last twenty-five years
of Mrs. Berry's life were spent in Washington.
She was Of Massachusetts birth, having been
born in Groton, seventy years ago, and she has
always drawn to her house a company of New
England people. Her grandfather was the
somewhat noted Squire" Brazier, of Groton,
and her father, Charles Stuart, was a
brilliant lawyer in his day. Her
brother Of the same name was the
first scholar in Summers class in Harvard COL
lege. While still under twenty she went to
New Orleans, where she married James SILL an
Englishman of means, but was left widow in
a few months. The story Of her life from
this time is one Of adventure and
romance. Her husband left her a
large life insurance, but she voluntarily sur
rendered it to his creditors, leaving herself
nearly penniless. During the yellow fever
plaques Of those years she was one Of the
bravest and most tireless of nurses. In
1s49, with a party of New Orleans people,
she made the overland journey to California and
was one Of the first women to enter San Fran
cisco. Her second husband whom she had
married in Mexican church during the journey
overland, died soon after reaching the coast
She returned to New York Just before the war
with a considerable fortune. which she
had gathered on the slope, but her
patriotic contributions and her charities
quickly exhausted this, and in 1865 she came to
Washington and took the historic house on G.
street, which is now occupied by the Riggs
house annex. The people whom She
drew about her there have always re-
manned her friends, and the same may be
said of those who have known her in her more
recent home on L street. Mrs. Berry has few
relatives surviving. Among them is Lieuten-
ante Commander Joseph G. Eaton, Of the navy,
who was with her at the last and who will carry
her body north at the close Of the services this
afternoon.
