Obituary of Charles Tabor Berryman from the Danielsville Monitor, Danielsville, GA, printed on August 28th, 1896:
Uncle Taber Berryman Dead - We regret to hear of the death of uncle Tabor Berryman who lives in Harrison Dist. 9 which occured on last Sunday morning a week ago. Uncle Tabor was a man loved by all who know him, and reached a ripe old age before the master called him. He leaves a large family of children to mourn him, as well as a large concourse of relatives and friends. He was the father of C. T. Berryman who took the life of his family and himself some time ago which act was no doubt one cause of the old man's death, as he was so much grieved. He has gone to rest, and to be with the angels where his troubles are over and comfort is found. His remains interred at Mill Shoal on Monday following his death.
