Folio wing is more extended account OF
Mrs. Fanny Berry's life than has before
been published: The funeral of Mrs Fan
ny Berry, widow of the late Kenelm Berry,
| was held at Newport, Friday. March "A
and her remains were brought to Coventry
Center for burial. Mr.. and Mrs. Berry
were former residents of this town, and
quite number of their old neighbors and
| friends attended the funeral, among whom
| we're Rev. A. s.. Bole, Mrs. Howard and
Miss Kidder from the village. When Mr..
and Mrs. Berry resided in town, they were
among Coventry's most thriving people;
and although their farm was three or four
| miles from church, they will be remem-
| bered as regular attendants, always being
| in their accustomed places, on Sunday,
when the weather would permit. Their
home was in the ''north neighborhood"
and although prosperity attended the
thrift with which they managed their
business affairs, sorrow came to their home
as we'll as Joy, for in their declining years
death claimed their only children, grown
up son and daughter. AS they became un-
able to carry on the farm they moved to
| Newport, but Mr.. Berry's failing health
| caused his death, after brief residence
! there. 1t had been the desire of Mrs. Ber-
ry for some time to return to her old home
| town, but she had been unable to make
| suitable arrangements. 1t is to be re-
gretted that she could not have had this
| desire gratided, although she knew that
eventually she would be brought back to
rest beside her loved ones.
