Webster City Tribune

                Webster City Tribune  June 13, 1912
   S.J.BARBER died very suddenly at his home on West Second Street,
   Yesterday afternoon at about 3 o'clock. He had been feeling rather 
   poorly during the past two or three days, however, yesterday afternoon,
   he did not feel so well and a few moments after lying down upon his
   bed he suddenly expired, his death being due to apoplexy.
   Stephen J. Barber was a native of New York, having been born in that 
   state on June 29, 1841. He would therefore have been 71 years of age 
   in a few days. He was twice married, his second wife surviving him.
   Mr. Barber came to this city twenty two years ago and had lived 
   here since that time. For several years he has occupied the position 
   of rural mail carrier and served the patrons on rural route Number 
   1 out of this city.  He was a soldier in the Civil War and a member
   of the local G.A.R. Post. The deceased was well known in this 
   community. He was an upright citizen and a good man and his sudden 
   demise brings sorrow to a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
   Aside from his wife, Mr. Barber leaves three sons and two daughters
   to mourn his going hence, Will S. and Jerome Barber who live at home;
   Mrs. Albert Curtis, also of this city; B.B. Barber of Worthington, MN.
   and Mrs M.B. Gordon of Rock Rapids, IA.
   The funeral services will be held at the Christian Church, of which 
   society, the deceased was an honored member, next Sunday afternoon at
    3 o'clock, conducted by his pastor, Rev. A.I. Martin.
