Ionia Daily Standard, 25 Mar 1904

Mrs. E.F. Barber, who has been in very poor health for several years, and whose
condition has been critical for a few days, died at 3 o’clock yesterday
afternoon.  Her general complaint has been asthma, but pneumonia set in
recently, and complicated with heart trouble, hastened the end, which came with
shocking suddenness at the last.

Mr. and Mrs. Barber came to Ionia 34 years ago, from Hillsdale county.  Mr.
Barber assisted in laying the track of the Ionia & Lansing railroad into this
city and was one of the first engineers on this little beginning of what is now
the great Pere Marquette system, being the oldest resident engineer in the
employ of the county.

Mrs. Barber’s maiden name was Mary Hitchcock, and her age was 67 years.  Besides
her husband she leaves two children: Clifton, now residing at Ludington, and
Pearl, wife or Arthur Acker of Riverside, Cal.  She was a most estimable woman,
of quiet and retiring disposition; not so widely known as some long-time
residents, but respected and loved by those privileged with intimate relations.

The funeral will be at family residence on High street, on Sunday afternoon. 
Her son, E. Clifton, and family and two brothers, Milton and John Hitchcock, all
of Ludington, are expected to arrive this evening.
