The link to the PDF also did not work for me. Maybe we have to be logged into Washington Trust's website? 🤷
Berkshire Hathaway is a spectacular dividend paying company. The dividends are automatically reinvested into the company. Berkshire takes care of everything for you. You don't need to bother with taxes, ex-div date, payment dates, etc. The only way you'd see it is the rising pile of cash if you look inside or the rising stock price if you only look at the outside. 😉
Lots of folks talk about Schwab's Dividend Fund, ticker symbol $SCHD. They really ought to be talking about a different ticker symbol ... namely, $BRK.B!
You're correct about Berkshire, they collect huge amounts in dividends from their public and private investments. You then have the benefit of the best manager in the world reinvesting them for you, with buybacks when appropriate!

No need to be logged in. Washington Trust must have updated their website and broken the link. Here's an archived version:
