Miss Lucy Berry, of Latta, Hies After
Months of Unconsciousness. v
The following is from the News
and Courier of October 17:
Miss Lucy Berry, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Elias Berry, of Latta, died
Saturday at the Roper Hospital after
having been continuously in a state
of coma for more than eighteen
months. The J. M. Connelly Company
sent the body to Latta, where
the funeral services were held yesterday.
Although many visitors to the hospital
and many school children had
visited Miss Berry at the hospital and
had even given her flowers, her case
was not known to the community
at large, though whisperings of it
had been heard from time to time.
Before Miss Berry was brought to
Charleston for treatment, nurses
said, her family, in the belief that
she was the victim of a hypnotist,
had experts of the various schools of
hypnotism try to arouse her, but
none of them could.
Physically Sound.
Local physicians are quoted as saying
that in their belief she was suffering
from a most unusual form of
hysteria. Physically, she was
sound, but her mind was uninterruptedly
in a state of coma, from which
she refused to be aroused.
She was more nearly conscious for

the two days preceding her death
than at any other time in the eighteen
months she spent at the hospital.
Just two days before she passed
away, she was observed to turn
over in bed and sign, "Oh, my."
It appears that for weeks on end
she was never heard to articulate at
all, apparently sleeping soundly and
naturally. In the circumstances, it
was necessary to feed her, but even
this operation did not appear known
to her. Miss Berry was thirty-nine
years of age. It is not known locally
just how long she was in a state of
coma before she was brought here
for treatment. It is reported that
she had been sleeping for more than
two years.

gave no evidence.
No matter what happened near her

came and went, months came and
went, but her condition continued
the same. Many ways of arousing
her to consciousness were tried, but
all to no avail.
From time to time, members 01

hospital. It is said that she, even

U. S. AIRMEN GO ON EXPEDITION,
Several Towns Raided and Ten German
Planes Downed.
With the American Army, Northwest
of Verdun, Oct. 18, 8 p. m.?
More than sixty American bombing
aviators today attacked Bayonville,
Buzancy and other towns north of
the American line at Grand Pre. Escorting
planes downed ten German
machines.
This is said to have been the largest
enterprise yet carried out by an
ail-American flying force.
More than four tons of bombs
were dropped by the American aviators,
the bombers paying particulai
attention to Bayonville, where a concentration
of German troops had been
reported. Buzancy received its
share, owing to its importance as a
railway town and the supply depots
there. In the region of Bayonville
twenty Fokkers attempted to drive
off the Americans, who kept the upper
hand everywhere.

soundly slept for many hours on and
while members, of the family were
about the room.
Naturally, romantic reasons have
been given in some quarters for the
case, but these are not credited.

put her to sleep and had failed to
arouse her, is not really known here,
though nurses say that the family
had striven to have hypnotists of various
schools arouse her.
Never Conscious of Them.
Time after time children appeared
at the hospital and appealed for permission
to see "the sleeping beauty,"
and it is said that at one time the authorities
were in a mood to suggest
that visitors stay away, although Miss
Berry was never conscious of their
presence, or, if she was, she never
betrayed herself by any visible or
audible sign.
Physicians and nurses have displayed
a most active interest in the
case and the medical authorities are
of the opinion that hysteria of an extraordinary
quality was responsible
for Miss Berry's condition.

"My least boy, Bearcat, just takes
everything as it happens to come,
and lets it go at that," admitted Gap
Johnson, of Rumpus Ridge, Arkansas.
"Turther night I overheard him
having his Dravers. After touching
up the rest of us all round he asked
that Blister, next bigger than him,
be made a better boy, or one that he
could .whip, whichever came handiest."
Thoughts Encouraged by Prohibition.
The modern germ-crank cannot
understand how the boy who drank
out of the old oaken bucket ever lived
to write the verses. And there have
been times when the verses struck
others as having been written during
