Death of Philip Berlin, an industrious and godly man. We were in business together at one time. His failure cost me $7,000. I have forgiven him. He died in his 84th years. He had been born on the ocean when his parents immigrated to this country from Germany. He was put to the trade of wagonmaking for a number of years. At the death of Jacob Whitmore he took over his store and continued in the merchandising business for years. I entered into business with him on several occasions. He was first married to a Coover, an ignorant and pernicious woman. His second wife, Mrs. Suesserott, an excellent woman who died several years ago.
