Daughter of William Poovey & Harriet Mauney
From the Hickory Press, 17 October 1895:
"Three of One Family Die in Quick Succession During This Month"
"Mrs. Reuben Barger died in Hickory on the 2d (sic) of this month and was buried on the 3d. She had been sick for some time with typhoid fever and kind friends and neighbors had administered as far as possible to her every want. She was a good sweet Christian woman and had a family of lovely children. At the same time while she was sick there were two of her children sick with the fever. One of them, Edward B. Barger, died on the 7th and was buried on the 8th. The other one, Thomas Barger, died on the 11th at 3 o'clock a m., and was buried on the 11th in the afternoon. There are left of the family only the father, Reuben Barger, his daughter Hattie, who is the wife of Mr. Frank Flannagan, and George Barger, the good boy who formerly worked for us and who is not yet more than about 14 years of age.
This is a rather distressing situation of the affairs of one family when considered that it has all occurred in so short time."
