R W Berry

R. W. Berry died this week at Great Falls, Montana.

Mr. Berry got his start as a mail carrier in Halstead, later became a lawyer in Halstead and then Newton. He was virtually elected as county attorney in 1892 but he was counted out and the next year or so moved to Great Falls where he had ever since lived. He was married about 1892 to Mrs. Emma Turner, a teacher in the Halstead schools, who with one son survive.

Mr. Berry was elected prosecuting attorney at Great Falls a number of years ago and last election he was a candidate for public administrator but his Democratic opponent claimed the election. A recount of the votes completed a day or two before Mr. Berry’s death gave him the election by nine votes. (c) HCGS.
