BARKER, Wilson Creed 1837 - 1917

Wilson Creed Barker - b: Sep 20 1837 - d: Dec 11 1917 - The subject of this 
sketch, Wilson Creed Barker, was born in Marion county, Indiana, in the year 
1837, and departed this life Dec. 11th, 1917, aged 80 years, 3 months and 21 
days. With his parents he moved from Indiana to Iowa, and from there to Buchanan 
county, this state. In 1866 he married Emma Miles. They then moved to Henry 
county, where they had since resided. He had suffered intensely for the last few 
years, but was patient, bearing it all with Christian fortitude. He was a member 
of the Methodist church at Teays Chapel, near his home, and had been for many 
years; was respected by all who knew him. He leaves his aged wife, who had been 
so faithful in administering to his every want; also five children and 22 
grandchildren. The daughters are: Mrs. Mildred Williamson, Mrs. Daisy Rusk, Mrs. 
Etta Rogers and Mrs. Lula Sullivan, and one son, Joseph Barker. All were present, 
except Mrs. Rogers, who was prevented by sickness. Uncle Wils, as he was 
familiarly called will be missed by many. The sympathy of the entire community 
is extended to the family, and especially to the aged widow. May the "peace that 
passeth understanding" be given her. And may his rest be complete. The funeral 
was held Dec. 18th at Teays Chapel, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Wolf and the 
remains interred in the Teays Chapel cemetery. The family wish to thank their 
friends and neighbors for their kindness and sympathy during this time of 
bereavement.
