The Ionia County News, Thursday, February 24, 1944
Mrs. Lucy Ann Barker, 76, died at five o’clock Monday morning, February 21, at 
the Easton township farm that had been the family home since about 1850, and 
where her husband, John Barker, died about six weeks ago.  Mrs. Barker was 
born September 20, 1867, in Knox county, Ohio, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Henry Miller.  When she was about twelve years of age the family came to Ionia 
county and settled in Easton township where she was married to John Barker, 
May 28, 1888.

Only survivor is a nephew, Emory Bowen, of Easton township.  Funeral service 
will be held at two o’clock, Thursday afternoon, from Myers Funeral home.  
Rev. A. R. Kuehn of the Evangelical church will officiate and burial will be 
in the family lot in Easton cemetery.

The Barker family was among the very early settlers of Ionia county.  The home 
where they lived is just a half mile from the grant made to John Barker’s 
father by the government, and is a part of the original farm grant.  John 
Barker, who died in January, at the age of 93, worked for members of the 
Dexter colony.
