Barbery Younker
--breathed her last Sunday at the home of  James Ford, on South Church
Street.  Mrs. Younker has been failing for a long time and her death was not
unexpected.   She passed away quietly and peacefully into the Great Beyond
like a child going to sleep.
     The funeral took place Monday p.m. at the home of James Ford on South
Church Street, the services being conducted by Rev. Stewart Wright of the
M.E. church.
     Mrs. Barbery Younker was one of the oldest residents of Wood County,
being over 94 years of age.  She was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania,
March 17, 1806,.  She was united in marriage to Mathais Stump in 1823 and
removed to Wood County in 1840.  They purchased 40 acres of land in
Montgomery township and built a cabin, thereon.  Mr. Stump held many
township offices, such as school director, assessor, clerk and the like.  In
1853 Mr. Stump was killed by a falling tree.  By this union were born eight
children, five boys and three girls.  Four of these boys grew up and served
in the war of the Rebellion.
  In 1855 Mrs. Stump was united in marriage to Mr. Charles Younker, with
whom she lived happily till his death in 1870.  Since then, Mrs. Younker has
made her home in Bowling Green with her step-son, Madison Younker, and her
step-granddaughters, Mrs. Sears and Mrs. Ford.
