CAMPBELL MAN IS A WHITE PLAGUE VICTIM
Ernest D. Barker, Loving Brother, Devoted Son and true Friend, Missed by All.

The community was saddened to hear of the death of Ernest D.Barker, another of 
Campbell's most promising young men, who passed away last week Tuesday morning, 
May 1, at the home of his parents. For the last year, he has been under the best 
medical care, having been before two of the nation's greatest doctors, but 
relief of a temporary character was all that could be obtained; and, after much 
suffering, tuberculosis caused his death.

He belonged to the F.& A.M., No.30, Rochester, Minn., where he was well known.

The funeral services were held Friday. Rev. Chas Mourer had charge of the short 
service at the house. Rev. G.W. one brake officiated at the United Brethren 
church and music was furnished there by a quartette composed of Mrs. D.A. 
Mourer, Miss Verda Gattner, Leon T. Gilson and Maurice D. Armstrong. Deceased 
was laid to rest in Lakeside cemetery, on the anniversary of his birth. The 
funeral was very largely attended and the floral tributes were exceptionally 
beautiful.
