Mrs. Ann Barrett Dead
Died, at the home of her son, J.W. Caldwell, in Odessa, Mo., on Monday, Oct. 27th, Mrs. Ann Barrett, aged 95 years.
Mrs. Barrett was born in Cynthiana, Kentucky, May 5, 1818. She came to this county when a young woman, was twice married, her first husband being J.W. Caldwell. She is survived by two sons, James Caldwell, of Odessa, and Jarred Caldwell of Liberty, several grandchildren, twelve great-grand children and three great-great-grand children, who are the three small children of Mr. and Mrs. James Shelby of Dover.
Grandma Barrett, as she was familiarly called, was a good Christian woman, and when one stops to consider what that means, little more need be said, for as all other good Christian woman, she had her hours of trials, sorrows and disappointments but with an abiding faith and trust in "Him who doeth all things well," she patiently bore her affliction. She was a remarkable woman and possessed a fine memory, which kept her interest in the world and things about her fresh until advanced age and failing health dimmed her mental faculties. And thus it is another dear old mother has left this world of trials and disappointments.
"Weep not that her toils are over,
Weep not that her race is run,
Good grand that we may rest as calmly,
When our work, like her's is done.
"Till then we yield with gladness
This mother to Him to keep
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
'He giveth His beloved sleep."
