Belding Banner, 18 May 1899

Ernest Barker was born in Orleans, Ionia county, Michigan, August 24, 1882.  His
parents moved to Belding, Mich., when he was a child of four years.  Here he led
a joyous, happy life till the beginning of his illness Friday, May 5th, when he
was stricken with pneumonia and died Saturday, May 13, 1899.  Ernie was a
general favorite of his school-mates, play-fellows and friends; his sunny, happy
disposition endeared him to all who knew him, and who now so sincerely lament
his early death.  A bright light has gone out from among them and his young life
has ended – here.  Ernie was a good boy, a delightful son and a fond brother and
friend.  How truly he was appreciated was touchingly shown by the weeping
children and young people who come to take a last tearful look and sad adieu of
the sweet face of Ernie as he lay in his snowy casket nestling ‘mid the
beautiful flowers, fond tokens of their love and regard.  Farewell Ernie dear,
may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, and so make life, death and that
fast for ever one grand sweet song.  — A Friend.
