Berrier passed peacefully into eternal sleep in the early hours of the morning of December 29, 1942. Mrs. Berrier's life journey took her from the scene of her birth and childhood in Illinois to Kansas, then to California, and eventually she came back to the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. C. Bomar, in Clay Center, Kansas, to spend her last days. On January 30, 1855, in Marseilles, Illinois, a daughter, Eunice Lois, was born to Sylvester and Phoebe Thorpe Blanchard. She grew to womanhood there, received her education and entered into the activities of the community. On July 4, 1876, she was united in marriage with George Berrier. Later the Berriers heard the call of the West and they came to Kansas, arriving in Clay Center in March, 1886. As pioneers in this community they knew the hardships and shared in the events that contributed to the building of this state and early history of the nation. Mr. and Mrs. Berrier were the parents of four children, William S., now of Wolf Point, Mont.; Olive, now Mrs. E. C. Bomar of Clay Center; Blanche Vera, who died in August, 1938 in California, and a son who died in infancy. Many years ago, Mrs. Berrier declared her faith in Christ and united with the First Methodist church in this city. She was also one of the oldest members of Clay Center Chapter No. 180 of the Eastern Star, and served as Worthy Matron of Elnora Chapter of Blue Rapids during her residence there. Always resourceful and kind, Mrs. Berrier was equal to every occasion and she was every ready to help others. Her home was never too crowded to take in one more, and she was interested in everyone who came, especially young people. She went to California some years ago to live with her daughter, Mrs. Blanche Schweitzer, and after her death stayed on with her son-in-law at Tajunga. Wishing to spend the holidays with her daughter and family, Mrs. Berrier made the long journey from California to Clay Center, arriving here Tuesday morning, December 23rd. She anticipated an extended visit here, but death intervened after a few days' illness. Her age was 86 years, 10 months and 29 days. Mr. Berrier died several years ago. Surviving members of the family are, her daughter, Mrs. Olive Bomar of Clay Center; the son, Wm. S. Berrier of Wolf Point, Mont.; one brother, Dr. Eugene Blanchard, of Chicago, Illinois; six grandchildren; several great-grandchildren, one great, great grandchild, other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, December 31st, at 2 o'clock at the Mert Schwensen chapel in Clay Center, with the Rev. L. F. Arend of the First Methodist church in charge. Mrs. Berrier chose the text used at her mother's funeral for her own obsequies, Psalms 17:15. Mrs. Wilber Neil sang, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," "Good Night Here and Good Morning There" and "Blest Be The Tie That Binds." Mrs. Andrew Carlson was the accompanist. The Eastern Star conducted their ritualistic service. Burial was made in the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in Exeter township. The body bearers were Elmer Rose, Dr. W. H.
