The Cairo Messenger, Friday, August 27, 1920
D. L. Barber Dies Suddenly Wednesday

Mr. D. L. (Fayette) Barber, about sixty years of age, died suddenly at his home 
about four about four miles northeast of Cairo on Wednesday afternoon about six 
o'clock, following an illness of only a few hours.  He was in his usual health 
until Wednesday morning, when he was suddenly seized by an attack of heart 
trouble and he gradually grew worse until the end came.

Mr. Barber came to this immediate section from Sumter County when about sixteen 
years of age, and has been a valuable and enterprising citizen of this county, 
always standing for the best things for his community.

Coming to this section as a poor boy and working for a number of years for 
wages on farms, Mr. Barber, by his thrift and close attention to his business, 
acquired before his death, a competency for his family and was among the 
largest taxpayers of the county.  Never making show or ostentation, he was a 
splendid demonstration of what a young man, by taking advantage of the 
opportunities of this section, may accomplish.  He proved a good financier and 
accumulated a fair estate.

About 25 years ago, Mr. Barber was married to Miss Emma Singletary and to this 
union have been born three daughters and three sons who with his wife, survive 
him.

For more than thirty years, the deceased has been a consistent member of the 
Long Branch Baptist church where he was always regarded as a most valuable 
member.  He was sixty one years of age on last January 9th, and was the last 
surviving member of his immediate family.

He was laid to rest Thursday afternoon at two o'clock at the Long Branch Burial 
ground, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. P. Swann.  A large 
number of relatives and friends were present to pay their last respects to 
their departed companion.
