     FRANK HERBERT BARKER, a general farmer and dairyman,
owning about 110 acres of land in the town of Stratham, was born on
his present farm October 16, 1873, a son of Levi and Hannah (Jewell)
Barker.  He was educated in the common schools and then took up
farming on the homestead, of which he is now the owner, having bought
out the other heirs.  He ships his milk to Salem, Mass.; and is now
starting to keep some Holstein cattle.  A Republican in politics, he has
served the town as supervisor for a number of years.
     Mr. Barker married Laura Snell, who was born in Morganville,
Nova Scotia, daughter of Charles H. and Elizabeth (Harris) Snell.  Her
parents now reside here, the father being a farm hand.  Their children
are: Edith, wife of George Pinkney; Archie; Laura, now Mrs. F. H.
Barker; Lloyd K., and Susan, who is the wife of John King.  Mr. and
Mrs. Barker have four children: Nelson E., Carmon L., Chester H.
and Levi H.  The family attend the Baptist Church, of which Mr. Barker
is a deacon, being also assistant superintendent in the Sunday school.
