Berkey.-Bro. Clarence Berkey, son of Bro. Gabriel and Sister Catharine Berkey of near Johnstown, Pa., died in Pittsburgh of influenza, Oct. 13, 1918, aged 21 y. 9 m. 27 d. He had been working for the Pa. R.R. Co., and thus died away from home. He was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church and has left the monument, "He was a fine young man," as expressed by the many who knew him. Bro. S.G. Shetler, assisted by James Saylor, conducted a short service on the porch of his father's home, after which his body was laid away in the Thomas Cemetery.
