The Georgia Enterprise, May 22, 1903

Death of Mrs. A. V. Barber
  At 5 o'clock Monday morning, Covington was called upon to mourn the
death of one of its best and most consecrated christian women, Mrs. A. V.
Barber.
  She had been in failing health for about three years, but day by day,
and week by week, she continued to move out among her acquaintances,
cheer them on in that Christian courage which had been her fortress and
comfort for more than three score years and ten. She died as she had
lived, without a seeming pain or murmur.
  Mrs. Barber was about eighty years of age and has been a member of 
the Methodist church for over sixty years.
  For about two weeks previous to her death, she took to her bed
and her relatives and closest friends knew that life was not very long 
for her on earth.
  Mrs. Barber is survived by three brothers and two sisters; Col. Iverson
A. Jones, of Arkansas; Mr. H. A. Jones of Covington; Mr. T. O. Jones, of
Atlanta; Mrs. R. H. Thompson, of Covington and Mrs. Robert Bishop of 
Rome.
  The funeral was from her late residence on Church Street and was
conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. R. McCleskey and assisted by Rev.
T. J. Swanson.
  The interment was in Westview Cemetery Monday afternoon.
