Edward A. Berry

Edward A. Berry, who died last
month at his home in Waterville,
Kan, was one of the twin sons of the
late John Berry and a brother of
Major John W. Berry of this city,
editor of the Gardiner Journal. He
was born in Gardiner, Dec. ), 1914,
and was educated in the schools of
Gardiner. In 1867 he went west and
located at Lebanon, Mo-. where he
was engaged in railway construction
work until 1868 when he purchased
prairie farm in Marshall county,
about two miles from Waterville
where he lived unit. he moved to Wa
tcrville. In 1870 he married Miss
Flora \. Lewis of Pittston. After
farming for six years he returned to
Gardiner where he studied law and
was admitted to the bar. In 1878 he
returned to Waterville, opened an
office and commenced the practice of
his chosen profession. He was a life
county attorney of Marshall county.
He represented his community in the
State legislature and was member
of the Kansas delegation at the Re-
publican National Convention in
Chicago. which nominated Hon.
James G. Blaine for the presidency
OF him the Marshall County News
and Waterville Telegraph says: He
was q worthy representative of the
pioneers who made Kansas the Queen
of the West, and whatever he under
took was well done. AS a farmer
stockman and breeder of fine cattle
and horses, in all which pursuits he
maintained an active interest all his
life, he excelled: as public man his
extraordinary personality has left an
abiding impressions; as lawyer his
breadth of learning and wonderful
eloquence earned him secure place
among the leaders of his profession.
His twin brother, Edwin A., de-
parted this life in 1908 and so close
had been the ties that knit them to-

Auto Goes Over Culvert

A serious accident took place near
the Hallowell- Augusta line when the
car of Mr.. Gilman. an insurance
agent at Augusta. went over the en-
bankment on the side of the large
culvcrt which is situated there.
At about IL o'clock on Saturday
night Mr.. Gilman passed along the
road and met another car with head
lights shining so brightly that they
blinded him. The other car crowded
him and he turned out little farther
than he had planned. Then he saw
that his car was going over the en-
bankment and leaped from the seat.
The car struck the railing over the
culvert and q timber from it rammcd
through the windshield. the steering
wheel and the back OF the auto. Had
Mr.. Gilman been in the car nothing
would have saved him.
The automobile kept on its way
and completely overturned at the bot
tom of the bank. The car was a new
Studebaker and wrecked badly.

First White Settler

Hanson's History tells us that the
first white settler in this section
then known as Pittston, of whom we
have any record was Alexander
Brown. Previous to the breaking out
of the first. King Phillips War,
Brown came, the pioneer of all, and
occupied the northern frontier. This
must have been about the year 1870.
He settled on the intervales EXTEND
ing from George w. Bedcll's to Jor-
dan Stanford's, then, and for a long
time after known by the aboriginal
name of Tcrdoormcarp, but finally
known as Browns Farm. He work
e1 for several years there. cleared up
fine spot for tillagc and was prob
ably engaged in procuring sturgeon
for the London market. The war
broke out in 1875 but Brown would
not desert his post. In 1876 he was
murdered by Indians, his house burn
ed and the entire white population
below him swept away. The place
was then abandoned and it is not
known that it was again occupied
permanently for 81 years. In 1716
Moves built his fort but it was dcs-
troyed by Indians in 1926 as was the
fishing place above Nahumkeag Is
land. Who built or occupied this
latter place is not known but it is
probable that those engaged in fish
ing found Browns clearance and
placed a fishing house on the old
foundation. 1t was not until the lat
ter half Of the eighteenth century
that the line Of civilization began to
creep slowly northward.

are assured Of many advantages he
fore the peace conference opens.
The Turks evidently have made a
concession with regard to the time
limit set for the embarkation of
refugees at Smyrna, which expired
Saturday. They did not officially
extend the limit, but they are per-
hitting without molestation the ves-
sells in Smyrna harbor to take the
refugees aboard, and many are be-
ing evacuated under the American
and British flags. 1t is said that so
far 10000 have been embarked but
nearly as many more are still await
ing relief.
The presence in London of the
former Greek premier. Venizelos,
continues to occupy attention. He
called officially at the foreign Office
this morning. 1t is explained that
his visits might be misinterpreted.
However. there Is no doubt that he
intends to act abroad for Greece and
that he will attempt to secure ia
vorable settlement, from Greek
viewpoint. Of Thrace and other ques-
tions. Vehizelos is silent on the ad-
visibility of action by the new Greek
cabinet toward the reorganization OF
