BERRY, JENKINS, JOHNSON, KEETER, KING posted by Richard Tucker on Wednesday, December 9, 1942

The Mountain Echo, Yellville, Marion County, Arkansas, Wednesday, December 9, 1942 Popular Citizen Passes, Father of County Judge Marion county lost one of its best and most popular citizens when Dink BERRY passed away about 6 o'clock last Monday evening at his home a few miles north of Flippin, following a cerebral hemorrhage suffered on Saturday before. Mr. BERRY had been affected by high blood pressure for several years, and had a rather severe attack a week or so before his death, but he had apparently recovered from it, and spent some time in Yellville last Thursday attending to business matters and meeting his friends. He was in the Echo office at that time and told us he was feeling about as well as usual, and hoped that the worst of the attack was over. He never rallied from the effects of the hemorrhage Saturday, continuing to grow worse until the end came Monday evening. His body was brought to the parlors of the Holt Undertaking Company in Yellville and prepared for burial, laying in state until Wednesday afternoon, pending funeral arrangements. Mr. BERRY was born in Barren County, Ky., on August 13, 1877, coming with his parents to Marion County, when a small lad. The family settled inn the north part of the county, and he spent his entire life in that community. On Sept. 12, 1900, he was married to Miss Flossie JENKINS, daughter of the late Mr. And Mrs. George JENKINS. To this union six children were born, five boys and one girl. Mr. BERRY was well known throughout Marion county, having served as County Assessor from 1919 through 1922. The record he made as such official is said to have been one of the best ever made by a similar official. He was recognized by all who knew him as scrupulously honest and fearless, and as a public official it was his intention to treat all parties exactly alike. As a private citizen he was a Christian gentleman, a hard worker, and a man who could always be found on the right side of every question, as he saw it. He taught in the public schools of Marion county for 41 years, being considered as one of the county's best teachers. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon in the Christian Church at Flippin, of which church the deceased had long been a member, by Rev. G. B. KEETER, and burial was in the Flippin cemetery in charge of the Holt Undertaking Company. As a token of respect to Mr. BERRY and his son, County Judge Earl BERRY, all office in the court house in Yellville were closed all Wednesday afternoon. Surviving the deceased are his wife, five sons, Victor of Wetumka, Okla., Guy of Norfork, Ark., Loyce of the Naval Training Station at Farragut, Idaho, Blake of Fort Smith, Ark., and County Judge Earl BERRY of Flippin, one daughter, Mrs. Maude JOHNSON of Flippin, and one half-sister, Mrs. Sol KING of Wetumka, Okla., all of whom were present at the funeral except Loyce and Mrs. KING, who were unable to get here.
