CONSTANTINE H. BARKER, a merchant of Ebensburg, the county-seat of this county, 
was born in Lovell, Oxford county, Maine, September 20, 1854, and is a son of 
Hon. Abraham A. and Losina P. (Little) Barker.
     For ancestral history see the sketch of his father, which appears above. 
After attending the common schools of Cambria county, where he mastered the 
elements of an education, he entered the Shippensburg State Normal school, at 
Shippensburg, this county, from which he graduated in 1874. He then became a 
partner with his father and his brothers in the mercantile and lumbering 
business at Ebensburg, and has ever since continued in this situation.
     Politically he has strong prohibitionist principles, but usually casts his 
vote in support of the Republican party and its measures.
