Death Takes Mrs. Rosa Hendee Barr

Was 81 Years Of Age And Had Resided In This Vicinity Since Civil War

The ranks of Portland’s pioneer residents was again visited by death last week 
when the Grim Reaper entered the home of Mrs. Rosa Hendee Barr, calling that 
estimable woman to her great reward early Friday morning.  Funeral services 
were held from the residence Sunday, in charge of Rev. W. H. Skentlebury.  She 
had been in failing health for some time, her sickness being aggravated by a 
cold contracted several weeks ago, which in her enfeebled condition she was 
unable to overcome.
Mrs. Barr was born in Vernon, Shiawassee county, July 7, 1847.  Her maiden name 
was Rose E. Cronkhite.  On November 25, 1865, she was united in marriage to 
Oscar Hendee, the couple settling on a piece of land located three quarters of 
a mile south of Collins.  Mr. Hendee died in August, 1897, and five years later 
the widow moved to Portland.  In September 1906 she married James Barr of 
Danby, who passed away several years later.  Four children from her first 
marriage survive.  They are Mrs. Ida Otto, of Portland, Ore.; Mrs. Keith Otto, 
Grand Ledge; Mrs. E.L. Goodwin and Lee Hendee, of Portland.
