Mrs. Anna Catherine Barchus, wife of J. W. Barchus, died at the Powers hospital in Clarinda, Saturday, March 6, 1920, at about 1 o'clock in the morning. She had been critically ill for several weeks, and had been a patient in the hospital since Feb 4, 1920. The cause of her death was cancer of the liver and stomach. She was a great sufferer toward the last of her life, but bore her troubles patiently and resignedly. She was dearly beloved by her household, and her affection for her husband and children was boundless. She was a quiet, retiring woman by nature, and preferred her home and the care of her family to anything else. By her going the home she has left has been made very lonely, but she has left a record of uprightness and devotion to duty and unselfishness that long must be a consolation to the family now bereft.
Mrs. Barchus' maiden name was Jarman. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Jarman and was born near Wyoming, Stark county, Ill., Aug. 16, 1857. Her mother's maiden name was Mary Jane Drake. When about 12 years of age Anna Jarman came to Ringgold county, Iowa. She was married March 15, 1877, at the Methodist parsonage near Benton, in that county, to John W. Barchus. The officiating minister was Rev. B. D. Hinebaugh, who also officiated at the weddings of all of J. W. Barchus' brothers and sisters, and who preached the funerals of Mr Barchus' father and six of his brothers and sisters. There were twelve brothers and sisters in the family of which J. W. Barchus is a member.
After the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Barchus they lived on a farm near Marshalltown, Ringgold county. About three years later they moved to Sarpy county, Nebr., ten miles south of Omaha. They lived there nearly three years when they went to Holt county, Nebr., and took up a homestead, on which they lived nearly three years. They then went to Loup county, Nebr., where Mr. Barchus pre-empted 160 acres of land, and his brother Albert W. Barchus pre-empted an equal acreage: near them. They lived there about a year and a half. They were there during a hard winter, in which the people lost nearly all their live stock by freezing; they had no grain to feed their stock. The Barchus brothers managed to save twenty-six head out of 100, while a neighbor saved only twenty-five out of 5000 head. Thus Mrs. Barchus knew indeed what it was to live in a pioneer country amid adversity.
In the spring of 1884 J. W. Barchus and family moved back to Ringgold county, Iowa, and then, in a little over a year and a half came to Clarinda, which since then has been the family home continuously. They arrived here thirty-two years ago last December. Since April 21, 1894, the husband, J. W. Barchus has been the solicitor for The Clarinda Journal. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Barchus— seven sons and one daughter. Two of these are deceased: William E., born Dec. 17, 1884, died Oct. 4, 1887; John Calvin, born June 17, 1883, and died July 21, 1905, a victim of the explosion of the United States gun boat Bennington, at San Diego, Calif., he being in the United States navy; surviving children: Fred A., of North Platte, Nebr.; Roy J., James O., Clarence E., Ethel M., Clarinda, and Harley A., of Ogallala, Nebr. There also is an adopted son, Paul Barchus. Ten grand-children survive her. The late Mrs. Barchus also is survived by her mother, Mrs. Mary Jane Jarman of Omaha; sisters, Mrs. Nancy Schlappia, Benton, Iowa; Mrs. Austeen Reed, Omaha; brothers, William A. Jarman, Reading, Iowa; James S. Jarman, Cortelane, Ida.; Charles E. Jarman, Reading, Iowa, and sister, Mrs. Charles Cox, Spokane, Wash. Mrs. Schlappe, James S. Jarnian and Mrs. Cox were unable to be at the funeral. Mrs. Schlappe was represented by her son, Ray Schlappe, from Benton. Also at the funeral was Mrs. D. P. Northrup of Humeston, sister of J. W. Barchus.
All the children of the deceased were present at the funeral; Fred A. and Harley A. coming from Nebraska to attend it. Mrs. Fred A. Barchus was unable to be present on account of illness.
The funeral was held at the Methodist Episcopal church in this city Monday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. M. Williams. The service was beautiful and impressive. The singers were Mrs. Myrtle B. Nies and Mrs. J. G. Scroggs, with Mrs. J. M. Williams at the piano. The hymns sung were "One Sweetly Solemn [by] adopted son, Paul Barchus. The late Savior, Pilot Me." The bearers were the five sons and the adopted son and grandson, Paul Barchus. Many flowers attested the sympathy of their senders.
Mrs. Barchus had been a member of' the Methodist Episcopal church since she was 24 years of age, and died a member of the church in that denomination in Clarinda. She also was a member of Yeomen Homestead No. 158, Brotherhood of American Yeoman, this city.
Her passing away was peaceful. She crossed her arms over her breast and went to sleep about 8 o'clock the night of her going, not to awaken again in this world; thus she quietly and calmly breathed her last.
In the Barchus family Bible, after her death, were found lines, placed there by herself—a clipping from a newspaper—suggestive of her thought of some dear one gone, which her family treasure as their thought of her:
"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled. We miss thee from our home, dear
mother;
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We will miss her after sunset,
When the shades of night are near;
We will listen for her footsteps,
Which we never more will hear.
Truly we will sadly miss her,
But the time will not be long,
Till we join her in the home land,
In the hallelujah song."
