BARTON M. STARR, our brother in Christ, passed away from this earthly life June 26th, 1935, at his home, near Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. He had been afflicted with heart trouble for a long time, and for the past nine months of his life was not able to get any rest except by being propped up in a chair, both day and night. He was born November 18th, 1857, making his stay on earth 77 years, 7 months and 8 days. He was twice married. His second wife, formerly Miss Ellen Clevenger, survives him. He has four children living, and there are also twelve grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He has two brothers living; Joseph C. Starr, near Herndon, Va., a brother Thomas Starr, of Cherstertown, Md. Brother Starr was baptized July 29th, 1933, into membership with the Sideling Hill Church, Fulton County, Pa. He had experienced a precious hope in Christ many years ago, but did not unite with the church until near the end of his pilgrimage. For thirty-two years he had been employed on the campus of the Mercersburg Academy and had been respected and esteemed by all the students and faculty. Doctor Edwards, the Headmaster of the Academy, was present at the funeral and made a few appropriate remarks testifying to the regard in which our brother had been held by all at the school. It is a blessing from the Lord when our people can have a good report of them that are without.
Funeral services were held in the meetinghouse at Sideling Hill, interment in the cemetery there. Our brother was firm in the fundamentals of the christian faith as held by all truth-loving Bible Baptists.
