The Cairo Messenger, Friday, February 18, 1910
In Memory of Mr. J. N. Barrow
Mr. J. N. Barrow, grand-son of Mr. Joshua McCan and son of John Barrow and Mary 
McCan, was born June 19, 1827 and married Miss Emoline Ramsey July 9, 1848.  
Miss Emoline Ramsey was born June 21, 1830.

Mr. Barrow joined Antioch church July 5, 1871, and died Feb. 9, 1910.  He was 
elected Clerk of the church at the death of his father, who had been former 
clerk.  He was always true to his pastor and church.

He was the father of seven sons and one daughter, four sons and one daughter 
now living.  He was a kind and affectionate father and husband, never known to 
complain, but to take everything patiently.

Having been personally acquainted with him for sixty years, and being a brother-
in-law, by marriage, I have never heard him speak evil of any one, and don't 
think he has an enemy living.  The last few years, having lost use of himself 
and mind, he bore everything with great patience.

His wife, a most loving and Christian woman, was ever faithful to her husband.

In his last few days, he suffered great pain, but when the last hour came he 
breathed the last like a child a-sleep without a frown on his face.

I would say to his bereaved wife and children, "Grieve not, for he has gone on 
before, waiting and watching with beckoning hands at the beautiful gate where 
they will meet and join the Heavenly throng, and ever rest on Canan's shore 
where parting is no more."
Written by his brother-in-law, Elder G. T. Hurst
