WILLIAM BARBER

WIlliam Barber, 53, was born Nov. 7th, 1872, on the Bussey
homestead on Albion Prairie. He was the eldest son of Chas. D.
and Mary Elizabeth Barber. He attended the country schools,
and later attended the Albion Academy for the winter terms of
a couple of years. Time spent in school was limited to the few
months between the finish of fall work and the opening of
spring work. He was married to Emma May Jenkins on March 28th,
1900, and a happy married life was broken on the first day of
its 20th year by the death of the wife on March 29th, 1919.
For the past few years he has lived in the home with his
mother. The illness which terminated his life dates back to
the October of 1922 and during the years and months since he
has waged an heroic battle for recovery. Death came as release
from suffering on Monday, Feb. 8th, 1926. Although never
strong physically from early chilfjood, William Barber lived a
life of great usefulness, discharging the responibilities of
life in a thorough and kindly spirit. The care of sick
devolved upon him for many years and he alway had time for
matters pertaining to the welfare of others. He joined the
Asbury Methodist Episcopal church of Albion Prairie in 1894
and had been a faithfull member of the church ever since,
serving as a steward and trustee and also as a district
steward until health no longer permitted to continue in that
office. He was a member of the Albion Encampment of Modern
Woodmen of America. Trials and losses ever found him secure in
his faith. Faith In God as a Heavenly Father and the
possession of a wonderful sense of humor made him a source of
comfort and joy in the darker hours of his affliction. He
leaves to mourn his passing, one brother, Rev. George Barber
of Columbus, Ohio. a sister, Mrs. Penuel Brown, and his
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Barber, besides other relatives and
many friends. Funeral services were held on Wednesday, Feb.
10th at 2 o'clock at the home of the decedent and interment
was made at Albion Prairie cemetery, Rev. R.J. Bailey
officiated.
