The Charlotte Democrat, 15 March 1878
                                             Obituary for Paul B. Barringer, Esq

Death of Paul B. Barringer, Esq.

Mr. Paul B. Barringer, a native of Cabarrus county, (brother of Gen. Rufus
Barringer of this city) was recently killed at Oxford, Mississippi, by the
accidental discharge of a pistol which he was caping.  A friend furnishes us the
following facts concerning the deceased:

He was in the 70th year of his age, and was many years since a leading merchant
in Concord.  He was one of the first settlers in the “Chickasaw Purchase” of
North Mississippi, and was at one time a member of the Legislature of that State
and was active in locating the present Town of Oxford and securing for it the
State University.  Always strong and decided in his convictions, he never ceased
to denounce the “Republication Party and Policy” of his adopted State, and at
one time sought to leave her borders and return to his beloved North Carolina. 
The death of Mr. Barringer was sad and striking in the fact that some years ago
he lost a son, an active, manly youth of 16 years old, in nearly the same way –
the accidental discharge of a gun.  

Paul B. Barringer was the second son and third child of his father, Paul
Barringer.  He married Mary Carson, sister of he late Richard C. Carson, who
survives her husband with three children and several grand children.

Mrs. Margaret Grier, Hon. Victor Barringer and Gen. Rufus Barringer are now the
only survivors of eleven children.
